Do the other Top 14 coaches really get into as much disciplinary trouble? If so that's a bit mad.

Andrew Conway had knee surgery last week and is expected to be out for another three to four months.
Serious bad luck for him, that will be a whole season missed

You know I'm going to lose,

But that's the way I like it baby, I don't want to live FOREVER!

It was amazing to watch the Irish under 20s at the weekend.
From a Munster perspective they were not represented to the level that you would hope, but the quality Quinn and Gleason is a massive positive.
What is very rare in Munster is seeing underage players who look physically ready to make the step up to senior level.
Both of these players are physical freaks, who wouldn’t look out of place beside Coombes, despite the fact that Gleeson is still eligible for U20s again next season.
With those 2 and Sean Edogbo coming through to join the already well stocked backrow resources, Munster look to be set across the backrow for at least the next decade.
As a backrower myself, the thoughts of a backrow of 6. Coombes, 7. Quinn, 8. Gleeson have me very excited.

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.
Re: Grahamunster - Graham Rowntree's Munster 2022/2023
Great to hear that RG is likely to make an appearance in the next few weeks.
With Beirne likely to be out for at least a few weeks, this is a timely break for Munster.
If RG can stay fit, he could be massive for Munster.

Re: Grahamunster - Graham Rowntree's Munster 2022/2023
That he is.
I just hope that he manages to return to close to his best.
We seen glimpses of what he can do in his short time on the field for Munster, but his highlights reels for club and country are a sight to behold.
With all options fit (which will likely be a rare occurrence) Munster will have the ability to select a second row and a backrow to match a given opposition, or game plan.

Fekitoa being cut at end of the season.

Move hasn't worked out for anyone really, although he has been a little better in recent weeks.
Does free up budget for Munster to invest elsewhere in a place that's probably more needed (likely front row).

M#1 do you still reckon this is a 'dangerous' and 'negative' message to send out to get rid of an underperforming guy after 1 year?

I can imagine whoever had to write it was thinking, "what the feck am I going to say about this fella..... well let's mention he won a work cup anyway. Oh an he was part of one one the greatest moments in Munster history when we beat South Africa A......... that's all I got"

It is hardly a surprise to read about Fekitoa, but I really feel for the man.
I have had the privilege of meeting him a couple of times during Munster match days, and he comes across as a genuinely nice guy.
I hope he manages to land himself a good deal and manages to reignite his career.
Hopefully this means that Munster are confident to stave off the advances for Frisch and they are confident that Farrell will return in time for next season.
This will inevitably free up a good amount of cash and a NIQ spot, with RG the only confirmed NIQ for next season, so hopefully Munster use the cash wisely and strengthen the front row.

Tough choices ahead for Munster. Sign a centre before the world cup, or sign a centre after the world cup, or sign a centre before the world cup then sign a centre after the world cup

They should invest the money in the academy.
