Munster Rugby 2021/2022 - Search for the Holy Grail

[neill_m]

Munster now going to South Africa end of November as are Zebre, Cardiff & Scarlets. South Africa off red list and the Italian plan B now longer needed.

That's really good for the league and actually probably good for Munster too. A chance to get a real test on the summer plains in SA.

Gan dabht!!! I'm delighted for Munster!!!

Does he mean Nash. Nash had a very good outing.

Yup Nash.

Speaking of cousins, not sure about Liam but Gavin Coombes' other cousins are the rowers, the O'Donovan brothers.

Normally I would step in here and make some crude joke about Cork and cousins, but I'm trying to grow, so I wont.

Proud of you man

after watching Keith Earls on the Late Late Show there, gotta say my admiration for the chap has gone up quite a lot.

Fair play

[Oldschool]

Apologies I meant Liam Coombes but he was wearing 13.
Scored two tries and is quick.
Says on Wiki that he plays mostly on the wing but has and can play at FB and Centre.
Also says he's a cousin of Gavin.

Didn't watch it but his achievements were already admirable. I know some unfortunate people with bipolarity and the struggle is so intense. All of them had their lives and their potential success diminished by the illness to a great extent.

Fair play to him. It's just a pity he always plays well against us.

Earls is my favourite current Munster player by some distance.
He is a complete role model for any aspiring athlete.
He goes about his business with no fuss, you never see him over react to any of his tries or victories.

As Ireland and Munster’s second highest try scorer, he could be forgiven for being arrogant or searching out the spot light, but he doesn’t.
He is the type of person who is happy to say hi to anyone on the street and spend time talking to the kids.

I admire his bravery for giving that interview, as that is not something that would have been easy or come naturally.

His interview and Klyne’s comments during the week show the human side to the players that we admire and dislike.
It shows that we as fans should definitely think before writing something on social media as it can affect the players and their loved ones.

Totally agree.

How did the TMO allow the try?? Clearly offside.

If Cloete is the best 7 in Ireland we're in trouble.

[wixfjord]

If Cloete is the best 7 in Ireland we're in trouble.

He's a liability against better sides.

Gets turnovers but he gives away so many pens and does pretty much nothing in the rest of the game.

Agreed, his attempted tackle on Boyle from the 5 meter tap was comical.

[Ruckedtobits]

This Munster performance is absolutely cr@p in tactics and execution. Its a long way away from last week's display. If the Man U manager is under pressure, how come Van Grann avoids criticism?

[Dexter]

Farce...

[Oldschoolsocks]

Farce...

yup.

how does POM get away with talking over refs? One of the stronger parts of his game to be fair

[elephantman]

Is Joey just going through a rough patch confidence wise or is it something more serious?

He looks a shadow of the player he threatened to be at Leinster.
