Re: The other semi
The mood coming out of the eng media is that Saracens are unbeatable. Just the kind of game that Munster will relish so. I hope they smash them.
Although, what would be the consequences of another all-Ireland final?
The Nigels would not be happy.
New Rule:
1. Only 1 player whose surname begins with O can be on the pitch at any one time.
2. All semis must be played in Stadia with a capacity above 51,700. (Otherwise the home advantage is switched to Wembley)
3. Nigel Cup Final to be always played the day after Pro12 Final.
4. More to follow

You know I'm going to lose,
And gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby, I don't want to live FOREVER!

Tickets went on sale @14.00. All gone.
Re: The other semi
I wonder.... Saracens could walk into their version of 2006.
Sometimes the quality of the team can be overtaken by the event. There is no way any of the Sarries team have been through anything like 2006 or 2009

I like your right leg. A lovely leg for the role.
I've got nothing against your right leg.
The trouble is ... neither have you

Re: The other semi
At the risk of being controversial after last weekend there's nothing I can dislike about Saracens (except maybe breaking our captains tooth!). Their hosting of the weekend was brilliant- before, during and after the game. I can't even dislike the score as we were beaten by clearly the better team!

Anyone know where I could get a Saracens jersey in the next 10 days? Asking for a friend.

Said player to be nominated by opposition.
YC upgraded to RC if only one Irish team makes final.

Re: The other semi
Im a bit worried over Munsters injury doubts or their lack of games
Ryan with a history of head knocks and TB going through rtp, Stander possibly out, Murray not back yet. Any would be near fatal

Williams has been very good of late. I was questioning the decision to give him a new contract, but he has been excellent since.simonokeeffe wrote:Im a bit worried over Munsters injury doubts or their lack of games

He has been like a new addition this season, and has become a very competent replacement when Murray has been unavailable, But he is no Murray.
Munster will need their first choice half backs playing to secure the win.
Stander would be a massive loss to any team, but imo his loss would be as significant as losing Tyler or Murray.

Re: The other semi
While CJ and Murray would be a loss to any team, I think Munster would feel Bleyendaal's loss greatest.
Really hope Munster can draw from a full deck. Saracens are a serious team and a full Munster side going hell for leather in Dublin against them would be pretty titanic. (not Titanic - that was rather a let down - but titanic as in Kronos battles... Hyperion or someone. Haven't figured out where the metaphor goes really)

Re: The other semi
Doubts over bleyendall, murray, Ryan, stander, earls and keatley- I think Ryan and bleyendall likely to be OK. Will not win without murray and stander. Will struggle without one - very central to the whole gameplan

Re: The other semi
To make it into a semi final for most of these players is way more than they would have expected following last seasons early exit.
They have now gotten themselves rather impressively into yet another European semi final.
Once any team gets this far, anything is possible.
No doubt that Munster will be massive outsiders, even more so if they are missing any of their limited number of top class players. But they can still win, they can still beat the odds.
Especially when you look at some of the results that they have racked up so far this season.
Saracens are probably the favorites to lift the cup this season, but Munster wouldn't want it any other way.
