Munster 2017 -2018

[Laighin Break]

Clearly a negative for Leinster but this move has the potential to be enormously positive for Carbery, Munster and Ireland.
Be nice to see a repeat of this with Sexton getting an earful this time.

Some of the comments under that video (from 4 years ago) are great

Munster lost 0-12 to Chiefs last night.
Chiefs had a fairly strong side out.
TOD took a knock.

Lest Munster have any illusions having just gone down to one of the teams in their Pool, Castres are currently ahead by 13-25 in Montpelier in a repeat of the Top 14 Final.

Castres play with raw passion and brutal directness. Arguably even more passion and pride than Munster. A huge challenge ahead for the Reds.

They've recruited well too. Spedding and Yann David will add to that backline. Them Exeter and Munster will be a serious pashunfest.

It's pashun and priude.

Murray is out for a few weeks and Munster are seemingly hitting the panic button!

Unless there's another injury, seems strange to be going for a cover in a position they have four senior players already, plus two others in Stafford and Poland?

[Laighin Break]

Surely they won't be allowed to sign another medical joker, where one really isn't required, right? Right?

"Munster" have signed Alby Mathewson on a "short term" contract.

[Ruckedtobits]

"Munster" have signed Alby Mathewson on a "short term" contract.

32 year-old former NZ scrum-half who's on the books in Toulon at present. Last seen down under with Western Force.

[wixfjord]

That is hilarious!

Imagine what Williams and Hart are thinking!

So Munster’s backline could be Mathewson, Carbery, Earls, Taute, Farrell, Conway, Hayley
And the pack could be Kilcoyne, Marshall, Ryan, Kleyn, Beirne, POM, Cloete, Stander

Granted some are marginal calls but that’s literally four Munster men in their starting side!

I’m sure they all wear with pride and honesty though!

Just because Conor Murray is injured for a couple of months? f%~k's sake.

[deco]

Joke of a team

[Xanthippe]

"Munster" have signed Alby Mathewson on a "short term" contract.

So that should mean we can expect the announcement of Dan Carter to Leinster any minute now, right?

[bails]

Twitte r reporting that the Turnips have signed Alby Matheson on a short term deal

Somebody must have broken a lace

What is wrong with their 2 other scrum halves if their first choice is injured.

They couldnt be arsed developing the other two, easier to get the IRFU to stump uo for anothrr overseas

Its paathetic

[cormac]

We should insist that we're allowed to sign David Pocock to cover all our injured 7's.

[outcast eddie]

Munner sign another overseas player? Outrageous!

Probably a lot to do with providing young Joey with an experienced partner.

20 non-Munster men!

What happened to Irish by birth,Munster by the grace of..
Now they are "The Province formally known as Munster".

[COYBIB]

Meanwhile, we're choosing between a 1st year academy out-half, an injured 2nd year academy centre and Noel fu*king Reid as our options at 10.

Oh the irony. Keep performing CPR on the corpse IRFU, but I regret to inform you that it is long since deceased.

[COYBIB]

How long is Murray out for? 3 or 4 weeks? A fiver says this interim super-short term lad will be eating Christmas dinner at the Strand hotel and a tenner says he'll be driving up the Wild Atlantic Way in the spring.
