That whole group stage was a real eye-opener as to just how far we'd fallen. 5 defeats in six games, two of them absolute thumpings from Wasps. Only bright spark was the home win against Bath with a relatively inexperienced team, even though Ross Molony and Peter Dooley were the only two players ma...

Yeah, it wasn't just that we were losing, you can take that if you see a development plan. It was the God awful rugby we were playing, there is a Leinster way and Matt hadn't read the script. I remember several mates who had been life long fans giving up their season tickets, it was terrible to wat...

My memory of the Wasps games is that we were really bad. They were terrible days.

I was just glad Matt O'Connor was gone. Think the one pool game we won that year gave a lot of the current crop their first game. Or maybe first European game. Van Der Flier stands out. That was pre Lancaster too.

The article is behind a Paywall so I can't read it but surely the fact we are winning away from home where we have far less fans shows actually that fans are less important. What dots does he use to connect our win in Loftus Versfeld to poor atmosphere at Thomond Park. https://archive.ph/NW0Gp I ha...

Did he really say that?

Headline was "Brilliant win over Bulls suggests Munster fans need to raise their game at Thomond" article content was less provocative

Dave Cahill wrote: ↑April 23rd, 2024, 12:21 pm It's one sentence in the entire article.

I was more making the point around him being diserviced by the headline.

Yes exactly this. It's nonsense, you probably misread as you weren't expecting such drivel.

Thornley on munster today suggests that thomand park crowd need to up their game given Munsters success on the roads vs realitve failure at home. He'd better take cover. Yes and No I would say. We've played 6 matches at Thomond Park this year. The biggest defeat was a 9-3 defeat to Leinster. We als...

They've lost two home games all season, both against European semi finalists. I think he's also talking ...

We didn't really blow the league the past 2 years though it was the playoffs we came undone. Not saying this is good though.

They didn't have a game last weekend. Hysterical fans gonna hysteria. I wouldn't take them seriously. Rowntree is creating positive vibes and actually won a trophy, but results otherwise have been poor. He's immune. Anger has to be routed elsewhere. fair points. We worked hard, very hard, at the ea...

I think a lot of the current success we have which as mentioned many times here goes back over 15-20 years is attributable to Mick Dawson. Drop him at Munster instead of Leinster 20 years ago and things might look very different despite the inherent advantages we have as a province. Unfortunately t...

Thanks Ronk and Naraic, just never noticed before although I've certainly seen that split a lot more the last few years in squads. I only went back to check as couldn't remember McGrath on the bench. Was wondering was larmour covering scrum half. Obviously not though. I've really enjoyed watching l...

From Matt Williams in the Times: "While it is part of Leinster’s culture to not publicly talk about their passion, unlike Munster and La Rochelle, it is a very foolish team that deceives themselves into believing that their passion is superior to Leinster’s. A trap that many Munster teams of t...
