Who is that absolute plank interviewing him!? You can see that Flannery is embarrassed to even be on the receiving end of the idiot's questions.

plank no. 1
Big match from Munster.Don't really understand the criticism of their so called ugly rugby.I love open running rugby but I also admire the collective mastery of this Munster team.What a beautiful machine with that ruthless side to them.

Did anybody else watch the churchill cup matches,and in particular the Canada v Georgia match.At half time they showed a cameo of the Irish A training,was that Flannery doing upperbody work?

I should add,that this is do with a bet,If I am right a Welshman has to buy me a crate of beer,but to validate the bet,there is another Irish player looking on to Flannery's training and the bugger is looking his name,I know his name but it has to be verified by someone else, he has also agreed to accept the name of the other coach with kidney in the little clip.

I thought he needed surgery for the elbow injury? If that's the case, there's no way he'd be back in a squad/training so quickly.

In the off chance that he went to Lourdes and made a miraculous recovery, he would be guaranteed to start for the Lions in the first Test!

Flannery is over with the Churchill Cup squad as is O'Leary.

That is just world class man management, simply superb. You'd be amazed how far a basic gesture like that will go in terms of keeping the players motivated and upbeat. Flannery's presence will also be extremely helpful for a young guy like Cronin, who's from a very similar mould.

:happy clapper: :green clap: aye cheers I've just won a crate of beer.

The little clip showed Flannery working on his right arm the physio was providing resistance as Flannery pushed the physios arm with his, and a Smiling O'Leary was looking on.
