Leinster v Munster, URC Final Round, Sat. 21st May, 7:15pm, Aviva

[MylesNaGapoleen]

I almost feel sorry for Munster and their fans. Almost.

harsh. they are really feeling the burn across on munsterfans.

[blockhead]

Fuppin brilliant!
We rested 23 players and still won !!
We were 5-0 up before they even touched the ball. Larmour was fantastic and looked like a man chasing a jersey for next weekend.
They were all brilliant TBF, even Toner made a difference.
Downer- at the end realising that we hadn't sent them all the way to South Africa, but to Ravers
Am I correct in saying that they will probably go to play Stormers away if they beat Ulster?

Well done boys

Great Selection, Preparation & Motivation, Substitutions, Defence and Player Performances. It adds up to great Coaching.

What a match, what a night. Too many excellent Leinster performances to list them now but a wonderful way for Dev & Nugget to depart the Aviva with such memories. And also for other departees like RO'L, Adam Byrne, Pete Dooley, Josh Murphy; they left everything out there. And welcome to our two new scrumhalves. Now you understand what the standard is and you both reached it.

Foley looks like a great option. Season probably over with the injury, but also it’s knockout rugby from now on so barring injury not going to feature anyway. V happy with Ben Murphy. Wasn’t expecting much but if you can come on in a tight game and keep the errors down you’re winning. One of McGraths first outings was away to Connacht in a tight game(horrible night tbf) and he came on and coughed the ball a few times.

I though Murphy did really well, nice zippy pass on him

There's absolutely no hope he edges JOB for next week.

There is. And it’s because JOB didn’t have a great outing last weekend. Bombed at least one try, maybe 2.

There really isn't.

JOB will start in Marseille. Larmour may make the bench.

Mark this post and come back to it on Friday at around 12.01.

I’m not saying it’s a certainty, I’m saying he’s going to make the coaches consider it. He’s a big game player. Slam, HEC, pro14 etc. 2nd time he’s delivered a big performance in a win for Leo in this fixture. He will take the bench at the least imo.

He'll possibly bench if Frawley is out.

Yeah he'll not shift JOB with one performance but he did brilliantly out there tonight and it would be no surprise to see him on the bench.

Joe McCarthy is the real deal, he's a proper player who, touch wood, will have a very long career in blue and green

Enjoyed the absolute sh*t out of that game. So impressed with that performance – some of the best tries we have scored all year.

Huge performances from both the old hands and the young guns, the lads leaving and the lads coming into the team. Cannot say enough good things about Ed Byrne and Max Deegan : they're a little bit older than Penny and Frawley, and they put it on the line week after week for not a huge amount of praise. But when they get the chance against the Munster lads who have been getting some hot press ... Jesus Christ, they put the heel into those dreams.

Fantastic to see Larmour back in Barry Sanders form. Baird's first half was ferocious. Cian popped off the bench. Foley looked assured. AB+ stepped off the bench like he was walking down the street, a piece of cake for him. Frawley looked great until he got clipped, Penny looked great all the way through. Big Dev with the rebound, Big Joe with the output. I can't spake!

[wixfjord]

Worth rewatching the line Frawley takes off Osborne for the Foley try.

He makes Goggin look like a slow front rower grasping for air.

Joe McCarthy: Tough on Reds.

Yep. If we beat Glasgow then we play winners of Bulls/Sharks.

Who do you think is ahead of him for the bench spot(assuming we don’t 6-2 split). I’m working on the assumption Frawley’s finished for the season.

This is exactly the type of game Carbery is supposed to thrive in, but jaysus he has been awful. Totally headless.

He's been brutal. Rarely has a player gone backwards so quickly from such promise.

Incredibly impressive display by Leinster.

He offers zero control. Should be nowhere near NZ this summer on that performance.
I couldn’t believe he was so bad.

[wixfjord]

The most important move of the game was Foley's 50/22.

From that we scored a driving maul, Scannell went off and a few mins after ROL went over.

Hopefully Foley isn't too bad.

It was Jack O'Donoghue who was the big disappointment for me after all the talk. Thought it was a game he needed to take leadership in but was just brutalised most of the game, despite his try. Kendellen and Wycherly stood up far better than him.

We agree on that least. Special mention for the commie buster in that move. Thought it’d go back for a forward pass but was fine from m another angle.

TRK and the rest of the Munster Twitterati is losing it.

You love to see it.

That’s demented. Calling for a full reset too.

Demented is normal for the course for that ghoul.
