Leinster v Munster 2018 Pro14 S/F 19th May RDS

[neill_m]

On Saturday afternoon, Stuart Berry (SARU) will create a small piece of history as he becomes the first South African official to referee a knock-out game in the Guinness PRO14 after his appointment to the Leinster Rugby v Munster Rugby Semi-Final. Berry will be assisted by Ben Whitehouse (WRU) and Craig Evans (WRU) with Neil Paterson (SRU) serving as the Television Match Official.

Christ.

Odd that Pro14 selected a SA ref for this game. Surely his neutrality is open to question, no?

his competence also questionable.

Didn't he get de-selected from Super Rugby?

This is bad. Patterson is also a clown as TMO.

I don't know the guy from a hole in the ground but a quick google search on News items does not bode well

Seems like Munster might have a bit of a TH crisis brewing for the weekend. https://www.independent.ie/sport/rugby/ ... 07919.html

I thought Parker was fairly poor against Edinburgh. When Munster did get scrum calls in their favour I thought they were a little bit lucky, but the main thing about him was that he didn't look very fit to me.

Due to returns from Munster (!!!) some tickets will be on general sale from 10am tomorrow




Apparently to the Brave and Faithful facing the European Champions is a scary prospect

The brave and the faithful my h@le.

Yeah, that's one of them but there's a few about teams making complaints about his performance.

Luke Mcgrath training this morning anyway. No sign of Isa or JS though

Isa was there, not sure if he trained but he rarely does!

McGrath said he was grand when I met him at the airport on Saturday evening

Think you could see a team of:
15. R. Kearney
14. Larmour
13. Ringrose
12. Isa
11. Lowe
10. Sexton / Ross Byrne
9. McGrath
8. Conan
7. Leavy
6. Fardy
5. Ryan
4. Toner
3. Furlong
2. Cronin
1. Healy

Saturday is bath night in my house, guess I'll have to Lynx my way to the following Saturday.

I'd be very happy with McGrath/Isa fit tbh. If Sexton is out, it will take a ballsy call from Leo to start Byrne. The class for Carbery to move would massively intensify.

I do think we should freshen up the pack though. Jack M, Ruddock and Conan in for me, as well as Lowe, just to inject some more energy.

I think Fardy might drop out.

[leinsterforever]

I suppose Munster will start Parker at tighthead and have Loughman benching if Ryan and Scott are unavailable
