Can't see anything other than a Munster win

Quins would've had more of a chance if it was at home, but in Munster, naaaaahhh

As an aside, I think Quins SHOULD have it at home - they're the ones that have played through the whole tournament, Munster just flounced in after dropping out of the HEC, they shouldn't get the home semi even if they did win by a bigger margin or however it's worked out

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Munster should have no problem. They thought it was bad losing to Leicester in the heineken a few years ago in thomond imagine the outrage in limerick if they lost at thomond in the amlin

Olyy we got home advantage because that is how the draw worked out.
And well happy to say weather lovely here and well with the hard ground and sunshine this could be a cracking game

Monye vs Earls in battle of th "dodgy Lions selections"

At least Earls shown now what Geechs seen as he would be a Lion starter on current form

 

[Teh Mite]

No he wouldn't. He'd be a bench warmer behind Banahan.

 

[munstermuffin]

No he wouldn't. He'd be a bench warmer behind Banahan.

Although you have a point a back 3 of Banahan, Armitage and move Hape out too wing now squint with the fear

 

[munstermuffin]

Paulie set for bench spot looking at way lineout is in training

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Has he requested Buckle isn't his back lifter?

 

[munstermuffin]

Well hopefully Buckley learnt lesson and we are lucky it wasn't serious. The first duty for lifter at that stage must be to get jumper down safe.

ROG as captain?

Blimey. Would've thought DOC or MOD or Wallace or pretty much anyone other than ROG


Buckley's going to get battered by Marler as well

Im up for munster obviously. Hmm i also made my first bet.

 

[munstermuffin]

Lads have any of ye watched Munster lately. ROG has been captain the majority of time Paulie was out. Then this year Leamy got a go as it was felt its better kept in pack but that didn't work out. ROG is a great speaker and good leader.

On team Warwick is picked to try get a playmaker in at 12 and try keep a fast tempo game

 

[Teh Mite]

I reckon it's just a cunning ploy to make sure he's not binned for his usual gobbing off at sir.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Lads have any of ye watched Munster lately.

In a word........no

Still odd choice, imo
ROG too flaky for captaincy, and mouths off at the ref a lot (then again so does POC so keeping with tradition )

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Going for a Munster win with the Quins giving them a good push, feel its going to be within 7 points.

 

[profitius]

Munster by 12pts. If the nice weather continues it'll be a high scoring game.
