All the media nonsense about Kendellen, Ahern and JOD. Decent players but not in the class of Penney, McCarthy and Max.
Poor Earls and Conway never got a decent attacking pass all night. Farrell is great at the bish bosh SA style stuff but he hasn't an ounce of creativity about him. Joey is a pale shadow of his former self and Murray's race is run.

I see on MF there is the usual chat about a lack or heart from the Munster players being behind their inability to beat Leinster.
Toxic bunch. Won't be long till they are booing their players again.

He should have reviewed their first try, the final pass was 2-3 yards forward off a static pass so no forward momentum.enby wrote: ↑May 21st, 2022, 11:15 pmOverall, much to my surprise, I agree. He backed himself on the big decisions like JOD try, the penalty try and the Russell yellow (which I thought was way too harsh) without recourse to the TMO and he only reviewed ROL try because TMO told him to. Normally he is a ref that I don't like but I will concede that he largely did his job fairly and with authority tonight
He should have reviewed Russell’s yellow cause it wasn’t one, not even close.

Delighted to see Deegan & Penny stand up last night.
Their compatriots in the red backrow have been grabbing a lot of headlines, so good to see the time honoured tradition of much vaunted Munster backrows being handed their ass against us.

Thought Jenkins had a few good powerful carries when he came on. Stats have him 38 metres in 6 carries.

There's probably a bit of something in that. Munster probably were still a bit down after Toulouse.Hoofhearted wrote: ↑May 22nd, 2022, 8:49 am I see on MF there is the usual chat about a lack or heart from the Munster players being behind their inability to beat Leinster.
Toxic bunch. Won't be long till they are booing their players again.
Leinster were unified by a clarity of purpose, they were confident and had belief. It's impressive that they did that with such a disparate group. 7 academy lads already showing different experience levels, retiring legends, departing players, internationals returning from injury trying to impress and a few core squad players who wanted to do their part. Different personal motivations, but all working for each other.
They were fierce in contact. Some absolutely huge hits that really slowed down momentum and made it hard for Munster to get go forward. They were unusually aggressive at the breakdown. They earned it.
Munster played with spirit, that was a tough hard fought match. But too much is unfocused such as when Haley pushed Harry Byrne into Kendellen off the ball to start a scrap. They got impatient going through phases. The penalty try was a killer. Why add a yellow on top.
Re: Leinster v Munster, URC Final Round, Sat. 21st May, 7:15pm, Aviva
Apparently Munster can't wait for the end of the season to come and that's the real reason they lost on Saturday.
QF should be a doddle for Ulster.
If I were a Munster fan I'd be p!ssed off with that sort of analysis.

6-2 seems like a real possibility.

It's only fair to point out that this Leinster team is battle hardened.
A trip to SA with two games against very tough opposition and picking up a BP in both cases was no mean achievement.
This was a team performance as opposed to the an ad hoc 23 just thrown together.

I thought Byrne was just going in to get a touch of the ball to prevent a quick throw-in for Munster myself.

Re: Leinster v Munster, URC Final Round, Sat. 21st May, 7:15pm, Aviva
Another fascinating week of podcasts ahead as we delve into the big questions, ones that haven't been asked for as long as 5 weeks now.
What is Munster's identity?
Where do Munster go from here?
Can Munster resurrect their season with some silverware for the departing JVG?
I used to like Bernard Birch Jackman as a pundit, despite his difficulties with the 'th' blend. He was amusing and liked a joke about Munster. Then somewhere along the line he shelved that to take up the position of key Pandering Officer for Munster fans. "I'd like to see them go on....." etc. Part of me thinks as his profile grows in media circles, Bernard Birch Jackman is protecting the Jackman Brand. He knows too well how sensitive they are to criticism down south. He doesn't want to be labeled part of the "Dublin media" or "D4 bias" so he's rarely found drifting away from the topic about how awesome the young Munster players are. That can be shoe horned into any response about Munster's identity and culture. The recent senior and U20 6N squads were largely without strong Munster representation and it appears the only chance a Munster player starts for Andy Farrell is if he's 29. Still waiting for the successor to PoM as the next Munster developed player to feature regularly for Ireland. PoM made his debut in 2012. Their good young players are found wanting again against the Ladyboys.
At full time on Premier, Birch Jackman immediately delivered these words. "In fairness to Munster they really put it up to Leinster. They're still in the hunt to win this competition." In fairness. It isn't like Munster were strong favorites, against a team that never played together before, in a must win game. In fairness Munster really stood up.

Jenkins’ carrying stats are very good and he hasn’t missed a tackle this season either. Admittedly he’s only played 218 minutes.
Jenkins definitely has potential and I think Leinster will get the best out of him.
