A big game from Crowley here could see him make his way into the 6 nations squad.
Especially if yet another Leinster game gets cancelled
Touché M#1. You're gas!!!
Exactly.
TBH I would prefer if none of the Munster players were selected for the 6 nations squad.
Chances of them playing are slim, so I would much rather they spend the 6 nations period playing rugby with Munster.
Just because a post upsets you, that doesn’t mean that it is wrong. People have different views in all aspects of life, this is a key ingredient to an interesting conversation.
Has a smell on the MonyP situation (i.e. hedge your bets for as long as you can cause the other team might end up being in worse nick then you)
As good as it would be to take 5 points and be all but into the knockout stages, I am glad the game is still going ahead.
I wouldn't be accusing anyone of anything but if I was a Munster fan It's not tonights game that would worry me, it would be fielding a team for next weeks game.
But I suppose these are the dark times we live in. Not a lot anyone can do about it!
If Munster do nothing else this weekend they should fly to France and show up in their coach outside the ground at the annointed hour
Had Leinster done so for their game against Montpellier then we might have got a different result but that's just hindsight that Munster should learn from.
And that's even if here are rumours that Castres won't be able to field a team.
Mirror, Mirror on the Wall who's the greatest player of them all? It is Drico your majesty.

Fairly sure that Munster travelled over yesterday, so that shouldn’t be a problem.
Big thing for Leinster is that they appeared to be playing chicken, waiting until the latest possible time to send over their team, even going as far as cancelling their original flight.
As you say, the benefit of hindsight shows that that was a poor tactic.

Leinster wanted to play and changed flights to better manage changing restrictions.
Montpellier didn't want to play and weren't ready when we named a stronger team than them and they were facing a home loss.

So Rowntree, Prendergast and McNamara to be coaching staff.
Where did you hear that, MI?
I think this might have just been a throw away comment.
Would be a great team of coaches, Although not sure how they fit.
Who’s the backs coach, defence coach etc.

Rowantree will be forwards. McNamara and Prendergast both have experience as backs and attack coaches. Depends on what hat they wear in the end. You'd assume Prendergast will be the Head Coach.
Officially there's a defence coach already. If Ferreira leaves then I'd expect them to pick someone else. Might make sense to hire more help down the paneldue to the squad size. Someone like Keatley as a kicking/skills coach. Or a contact skills coach.

MI, usually has accurate information so it could be true. I would be more than happy with McNamara AND Prendergast. Both would know Munster rugby well and I like the style of play that their teams play.

I wish BT would make more of an effort to find a competent commentator
What was he on about saying Conway didn’t wrap? Doc not much better. I like him but the OTT praise is a joke, he even said Crowley’s shite crossfield kick that went backwards was brilliant
Crowley needs to let the ball go more, he’s constantly choosing the wrong option because he’s too focused on going himself.
Surprised they aren’t making more of an issue about the lineout.
Most of Castres throws seem to not straight.
