Re: Munster Rugby 2021/2022 - Search for the Holy Grail
You couldn’t make this up.
This is absolutely great timing given the digs that have been made over the last few days.
Not only are Leinster looking to sign a player from the Munster squad, said player is also an NIQ.
Might keep the small minded minority quiet for a while.

P.S. this is not a dig at Leinster in any way, just pointing out the irony of it all.

Signing a massive SA second row who is highly rated by JVG from Munster to replace a local Leinster second row!
You literally couldn't script it!
My hope is that Jenkins won't be written off at Leinster by those who are too blinded by bias to give him a chance. But that's happening already.

He is the type of player that will strengthen the Leinster squad and offers some much needed bulk.
However, I did think that Leinster would have looked to sign a higher calibre of player.
I wonder if he is one of 2 signings??

Re: Munster Rugby 2021/2022 - Search for the Holy Grail
I don't get why people get so upset when Munster and Leinster sign NIQ players. They are and will hopefully continue to be an integral part of the game here. The only thing with the Jenkins signing at the time was that Munster already had Snyman, so I can see why people were a bit upset over that, we don't have particularly great depth at 2nd row in Ireland. We can see that with Treadwell getting called up to the six nations squad.munster#1 wrote: ↑January 19th, 2022, 6:30 pm You couldn’t make this up.

JVG hasn't shown any great talent for talent spotting.
He's probably also limited to how many players he can take with him.
Furthermore JVG has shown no appetite for development or improvement of players.
This won't be the case in Leinster for JJ.
Whatever his ceiling he'll achieve it with Leinster.
Leinster as main suppliers of players to the national team are probably the one province that needs NIQ signings.
At this point in time, I'm in the let's wait and see camp.
A view that I suggest most Leinster fans share.

Prendergast essentially saying that he won’t be taking the role.
Hopefully he is just deflecting the attention so as cause any distractions.

Just after Lenihan saying he was nailed on. I'm sure there's no smoke without fire but who knows. Maybe Prendergast was thinking about it and has come to a decision. He said no multiple times but it was a sheepish sounding no. If you know what I mean. That might be me wishful thinking.

Mike would be a great addition to the coaching staff.
As a player he spent time in France, and as a coach he has worked with a few clubs, so comes with good experience.

Also hearing that Munster are in the market for both an experienced Hooker and a Tighthead.
If they can sign 2 stong scrummaging mobile options in those positions, along with Fekitoa, Munster will have a very solid squad.
