Munster 2017 -2018

[Dave Cahill]

Remember when he was going to take the number 8 jersey off Jamie?

[RAILWAY1]

Never thought Copeland was going to take the jersey off a fit Jamie Heaslip, in fact whil Joe is in charge Kieran Read or Parisse would have a hard job doing that.
Seriously though I think Connacht would be the better option for Copeland rather than Ulster at the moment

I remember (that one season at Cardiff) when Leinster shouldve been sold for scrap for overlooking him

Was that the same season Conan started at 8 against Cardiff and showed Copeland up?

I dont remember
I just remember the outrage

[Dave Cahill]

that was the game alright, I think it was Conan's first competitive start for us and he destroyed Copeland.

Got MoTM. Copeland butchered a try as well.

Any club is a better option than Ulster at the moment.

True, sadly.

Sure Bernie is going to take jerseys off any blue player that has a green one.

[offshorerules]

That's 80 minutes of my life I wasted and won't get back anyway. Munster were brutal last night. They're very lucky the got the easier pool in the pro14 imho.

Her majesty the Queen of England might have some sympathy for that view.

TB out for season with ongoing kneck issue

Zebo and Earls looking doubtful to Toulon

Zebo and Earls looking doubtful to Toulon

What's wrong with Zebo? Did he go off against Edinburgh? I was only half-watching that game, not exactly a thriller.

EDIT: They're definitely going to struggle if they're down those two. They've already lost Farrell and Taute in the centre, and as Leinster fans we're all familiar with the week-to-week type of injury scratch that Conway is currently undergoing ... it means that the injury isn't responding in line with the way that it is projected and is thus either a] worse or b] different than initially diagnosed.

[johng]

Hammer apparently

[ChrisUppy]

Their full injury updated:

While Peter O’Mahony, CJ Stander, Conor Murray and Keith Earls all played a huge role in securing the Grand Slam in Twickenham on Saturday, Earls became the latest injury concern as he hobbled off after 73 minutes with a knee injury. The Limerick-man will undergo a scan and require specialist assessment to determine the full extent of the injury.

Head Coach Johann van Graan has been dealt a further blow with the news that Tyler Bleyendaal and Duncan Williams have both been ruled out for the remainder of the season. Bleyendaal required surgery in a bid to rectify ongoing symptoms with his neck, while Williams underwent surgery after sustaining facial injuries during a training session last week.

Following Friday night’s defeat against Edinburgh in Murrayfield, Simon Zebo (hamstring) and Alex Wootton (hip flexor) will be reviewed by the medical department today, while Jean Kleyn is following return to play protocols after sustaining a concussion.

Niall Scannell returns to full training this week as he recovers from a rib injury sustained against Glasgow Warriors at the end of February.

Continuing to rehab: Andrew Conway (knee), Chris Cloete (arm), Jaco Taute (knee), Chris Farrell (knee).

Given that their Ireland players won't play next weekend, they will be going in to the Toulon match at best totaaly undercooked and at worst totally fupped.

[simonokeeffe]

So theyre looking at a backline of

Murray Keatley ROM Scannell Arnold Sweetnam JJ/Fitzgerald

Bench of

Hart, 2 of JJ/Goggin/Fitzgerald/Nash?

[blockhead]

Earls out for 6 weeks apparently, better than expected. Over in Dubai atm with Murray, Rob, Rory, so couldn't be that bad.

[RAILWAY1]

I hope JvG protects Kieth Earls from himself and makes sure he doesn't try come back until he is 100% fit, sometime theplayers have to be protected from themselves.

[OTT]

Munster getting rogered by TMO and ref. Two shockers so far. The chip is well earned this evening.
