Re: Sexton to Racing

Bad news day for Leinster fans no doubt, to lose a player of the calibre of Johnny Sexton is a huge blow but i think its a sign of the times really. I have read some posters(minority) comments re mercenary etc and its a bit over the top in my opinion .People should remember what he has helped to del...

Re: Munster Thread 2012-2013

We've no chance of winning it. We're sure to be "also rans", but the young lads will gain some invaluable experience from even the quarter finals, of which i wouldn't rule us out of winning. A lot can happen between now and then. We could have POC back and Stander will be registered, so w...

Re: HEC Opponent watch

Some rather distasteful stuff going on in the Munsterfans forum at the moment: getting drunk on vintage 2006 schadenfreude. you could have pointed out that many posters are telling people to lay of the "distasteful" stuff as you call it but i guess you only see what you want to see Unfort...

Re: Sexton off to France???

Da Fuq?? Limerick man wants Leinster weakened. What a surprise. I presume they'll be just as happy for Keith Earls to head off to France too? And you know its a limerick man because? , to be frank "frank" could be anybody and probably is just another person looking to stir the usual rubbi...

Re: Munster Thread 2012-2013

That's the thing though, they tried playing expansive, attacking Leinster style rugby, but they quite simply didn't have the skill levels, so now they've reverted to trying to bully teams up front, but they don't have the pack. The only consolation of Leinster going out if we fail to make the quart...

Re: HEC 2012/13 Qualification - Ifs and Buts

wouldnt be a bit surprised to see a draw in the montpelier toulon game with both going through, mont already have 15 tries.
if its close in the last 20 expect a bore fest of kicking and a "surprise draw"

Re: Leinster v Exeter

Alright, I'm fairly certain that these are the remaining requirements. Unless there are a series of freak results, it's 99% certain that we'll need a bonus point win in Exeter. If we achieve that and either (a) Toulon beat Montpellier - even with a LBP for Montpellier OR (b) Munster fail to get a B...

Re: HEC Opponent watch

If Toulon win, and it doesn't rain tries at Welford Road, both Munster and Leinster progress as best runners up provided that both teams secure bonus point wins. Now that is fascinating. And surprisingly likely! :shock: not if you saw us play today but you never know i guess, wont be easy in exeter...

Re: Leinster v Exeter

Alright, I'm fairly certain that these are the remaining requirements Leicester Tolouse Ospreys group is now fairly irrelevant as Leicester and Toulouse play each other, so one has to lose, even with a LBP, knocking them out. So it comes down to 3 fixtures, Exeter v Leinster, Montpellier v Toulon a...

Re: Munster Thread 2012-2013

Out of the west with a 12-16 win. Will take that, connacht unlucky should have scored try by player sliding over line, spent too much time celebrating and not enough time making sure ball was down.
