The very same. Don't tell the Turnip Munchers that though - they don't like facts.
How many other FHs are they going to rob? They have ROG, Burke, Manning and now they want McAllister and have nicked Warwick from Connacht for next season.......

Munster don't have a single Irish born outhalf on their books, they have one naturalised out half, one not qualified for Ireland at all, and one who qualified for Ireland before there were any qualification rules in place in international rugby
Oh and their previous back up outhalf was a kiwi
Brian O'Meara, Tom Tierney, Reddan, Stan, Strings, ROG, Tomas O'Leary all products of the Munster half back factory.

Secondly my reason for writing the post which you have clearly ignored was in response to the criticism on here relating to ROG and Strings. If you have a scrum half or out half that would be better than the aforementioned and are Irish qualified lets hear it rather than all the criticism.
Furthermore with the prevalance of a running game in your province and schols system I find it hard to believe there hasnt been some good young 9 and 10's fallen by the wayside. That though is of course only my personal opinion.
ROG was poor on Saturday but I actually thought that Stringer had a great game, one of his best for Ireland, and thats just the first half alone.
I agree with your last paragraph, but I would suggest that they have in fact fallen by the wayside, injury wise. Campion, Farrell, Dunne, Sexton and Hickey have all had very serious injury problems, with the first two having to retire in their 20s and the last three missing 2, 1 and 1 seasons respectively with them.

Mc Allister and Warwick are pure conjecture on this site. If there facts you will no doubt be able to back them up with proof. Burke will not be playing for Munster next year by the way.

You used BM to criticise us for not bringing an Irish born OH through and now you're claiming credit for him......BOM has 100 caps for Leinster!Reddan, Tierney and Stan had to go to england to learn their trade!

Factory? Only three of those are on Munsters books, only two are starters and only one of that two is Irish born.
The Warwick deal is done...... that's why Bradley isn't starting him anymore. A mate in the Connacht Supporters Club was talking to Warwick recently and the information came from the horse's mouth.
Warwick was getting pissed off with the Connacht set-up and the rotation policy. Bradley told him to "get to f**k and sit on the bench for a week or two". Warwick made known his disatisfaction and Judy jumped in.

This irish born nonsense is so irrelevant I wont even try to explain it to ya Cavan man although both Stringer and TOl are Cork born so your not being factually accurate. Indeed we only kept the three best. The rest we threw back like a trawler casting off undersized mackerel. No doubt you'll continue to fish through our cast offs.

Good news for us so although cant see how he will get much gametime here. Manning though looks to be an absolute cracker. If he progresses next season like he did this one he will be pushing ROG very hard for the first 15.
What happened to Campion again? As I said earlier there was something in the back of my mind that he had to retire but was that just from pro-rugby? Didn't he continue playing AIL for a while or did he fully retire?

Munsters startling new tactic, three half backs! I said of the starting two, one is irish born!

Incredible.....so, to be clear, we list off a series of names of guys we've brought through - but you dismiss them because they didn't make it to international level.....but then when you don't give good Irish players game time - Reddan and Stan for example - they're errrr......mackeral like castoffs....
As for trawling through cast offs - how's McAllistair doing?

TOL started against Sale in Manchester so I would include him as a starting half back. Not always fisrt choice but then again Munster is different.

He can also play 12, 13 and 15.........
Cant see him getting into the first team at any of those positions unless we have a few injuries. Halstead, Murphy and Payne have those positions sown up although sounds like a good one for the bench. The talk here suggests Mc Allister is a definite signing. Can anyone confirm?
