Re: Munster 2016-2017
Adidas brought in a new design 'language' a couple or three years ago and it is a f%~king horror. I haven't even looked at the new munster stuff, and I don't really intend on either. I loved adidas, their stuff was always so sleek - even stuff like the Stade Francais kit looked sleek. But since they turned the three shoulder stripes through 90 degrees, more often than not they've turned my stomach.

Poor old Zebo looks like he's going to cry.
I've just figured out that it's a buck on the jersey and not a lightening bolt. I like it a lot more now.

Wow that is horrendous. It's like someone puked down the front of the jersey and it dried up. I imagine the sales of this will be low.

Which one is Zebo? Saili or Conor Murray?

I like their new jersey
But anything better than a solid all red kit is fine by me

Collie O'Shea training with Munster: http://www.sportsfile.com/id/1195841/
Munster running very, very heavy in the second row this season with eight locks in the senior panel. In order of appearances they are:
1. Donnacha Ryan [32 y.o., 146 Munster caps]
2. Billy Holland [31 y.o.*, 131 Munster caps]
3. Dave Foley [28 y.o., 74 Munster caps]
4. Mark Chisholm [34 y.o., 18 Munster caps]/NIE
5. John Madigan [21 y.o., 1 Munster cap]
6. Sean McCarthy [23 y.o., 1 Munster cap]
7. Darren O'Shea [23 y.o., 0 Munster caps]
8. Jean Kleyn [22 y.o., 0 Munster caps]/NIQ
That looks like the sort of squad make-up that Perpignan of 2008-2012 would have gone for!
It doesn't make much sense to me on the macro side of things : while the IRFU are footing the bill for Donnacha Ryan for another season [source: http://www.irishrugby.ie/news/27971.php#.V6Jjx1fovq0 ], all the other seven lads have to be paid by Munster. That's eight players fighting for two starting jerseys ... a nice situation if you can afford it, but I don't think that Munster are in that situation at the moment.
Ryan is now third choice [at best] in the Irish stakes – behind Toner and Henderson, and maybe behind Dillane too. There's a decent possibility he'll be with Munster for the majority of the season. If so, the balance of probabilities would suggest that it's Ryan +1, i.e. seven players competing for one jersey. Strange squad composition.
*Today, happy birthday Billy!

Re: Munster 2016-2017
Is there much (realistic) expectation of the 2 young locks on developmenty deals? Especially this season
Also Chisholm playing again and lasting the season are far from certain. Foley has had his injury problems too
Hopefully O'Shea gets a deal, theyre still a little light on backs especially centres and chances are they lose their 2 Kiwis seasons end

Re: Munster 2016-2017
That is a big list of second rows, and not a bad list at all.
I'd be surprised if the list is that big come the end of the season.
With O Shea and Kleyn around I think that Madigan would be a smart bit of business for leinster, I have always been a big fan of his, he is a big, strong mobile lock, something that is rare in Irish rugby.
Imo he will stay at Munster and stagnate a bit, and maybe break into the team in his mid to late 20s.
Kleyn was an unnecessary bit of business, that is likely to slow the development of Madigan and O Shea.
My hope is that with 3 big lumps to play behind the tighthead, that we may survive with the options we have in the front row, but I think that is me being blindly optimistic.
Centre isn't too bad, we have just signed Sam Arnold, who will add to the squad.
I would much rather see scannell being give a full season than sign someone else.
Munster are lucky that the centre partnership will not be interfered with by international call ups, which will give them time to really gel.

Just because a post upsets you, that doesn’t mean that it is wrong. People have different views in all aspects of life, this is a key ingredient to an interesting conversation.
