I didn't think munster would get much sympathy here ! It was a high risk play by back, and he got away with it

Haden line out dive vs wales in 78 is far worse imo but then again I would say that :D

Lightweight chit-chat with nothing new and no significant questions (or answers). A relative waste of time and opportunity.

I'd forgotten how good a game it was, and what a brilliant atmosphere too.

Just watched the Munster v Scarlets Pro12 Final from 2017 on Eir (recorded it). Very one-sided affair tbh. Scarlets at their outstanding best, christ when they're hot they're smokin. Munster looked spent after what must have been an emotionally exhausting season however. Conway and Beirne both scored tries. DTH scored a scorcher at about 70mins, having scored a try v Munster in the 2015 final for Glasgow, nice little double.

Nice Friday evening in, just watched the 2009 semi and final on the telly. Lovely trip down memory lane.
You forget huge aspects of the game as the years go by.
How good was Healy in the semi, Sextons 1st half in the final (his 3rd Heino start ever), Rocky Elsom running over Tuilagi, holy sh!t!
Elsom overpowered every opponent all the time, incredible.
The tries, penalties and even drop goals that BOD was involved in, in both games.
The final was one hell of a battle, Leicester never flinched, they dominated big periods of the match. The last 15 or so mins was a desperate scrap, everyone putting their bodies on the line.
An amazing year for Leinster and Irish rugby.

Was just watching the semi final. Had forgotten how many problems we had at the lineout. And how dangerous Mafi was.

The QF really set us up for the semi and final... The defence in both was incredible

I like your right leg. A lovely leg for the role.
I've got nothing against your right leg.
The trouble is ... neither have you

The Northampton pool game from this year is on Virgin now.

We were excellent that day. Forwards ate them alive and the likes of Ringer and particularly Larmour were unplayable.
