Someone’s misfortune is someone else’s fortune. Hope it’s nothing too serious

[Serb]

Sure where would Carbery be off to now with a year left on his contract? He’s probably just cashing in on the ridiculous housing market. It seems like he paid €220k for it in 2018, 3x your cash in 3 years isn’t bad.

Not sure our backrow is big enough with that change

[LeinsterLeader]

My hopes aren't high for this one. If we get Ryan and Ringrose some game time and no more injuries before next week I'll be a happy camper.

We've just swapped Baird for Doris, so I don't think size will be the issue, rather the fact we've two guys playing out of position!

Yeah, no injuries and a good performance in preparation for next week is all I want from this. A win would be unreal, but we have to temper expectation with reality

[Keith]

Any streams available?

Edit: Got one.

Hi all. When was the last time Munster beat Leinster at the RDS?

[wixfjord]

Ah nightmare start from HOS.

Ah nightmare start from HOS.

Hardly his fault - his pack left him completely exposed at the back of the ruck.

He took three steps and got scragged for a turnover.

By opposition players pouring through the absolutely no resistance at the ruck.

He's been very poor so far unfortunately

So it's not his fault he got scragged for a turnover after taking three steps then?

[Keith]

Wtf is going on with Frawley and Harry Bryne? So frustrating.

[Theleinsterlad]

HOS isn’t going to get a contract anywhere on this performance

Not if he can't do anything else because no one is organised either in front or behind him, no. Our pack, in particular, have been shambolic so far.

Apparently it's Hugh O'Sullivan's fault
