Magner's League Grand Final - Munster Vs Leinster

[lucky number 7]

Hands like feet

 

[lucky number 7]

Fe;ix Jones is unbelievable on defence

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Aye, Jones best player on the pitch, superb


Is SOB injured? Seems strange to take him off - if anything take of Heaslip, been completely anonymous so far - SOB has been strong and Jennings has been brilliant

 

[Jockstap]

Murray is a sly **** ...

That's a good trait in a Scrum Half.

 

[lucky number 7]

Heaslip has nicer hair ..I think thats the logic behind it

 

[Alan-lee_Ulster]

great game so far.. have to say i would like to see leinster win this... but can someone tell me leo cullens qualitys? from watching a number of games, he just falls into rucks, hardly seen him tackle and hes always running behind play... rediculous

 

[TRF_Cymro]

WWWWwffff what a hit by Fitzgerald on Howlett.

[TRF_Olyy]

What a try!

 

[Jockstap]

Excellent finish by Earls and talk about a pinpoint kick from O'Gara.

 

[TRF_Cymro]

This game is unreal.

Ronan O'Doormat making an appearance there




Edit:
Where the hell has this Munster scrum come from?
Penalty try, what?!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Which one is MunsterMuffin?

They should make them all take a grammar test :lol:

 

[munster4life]

Munster were certainly helped with the try as both van der Merwe and Ross were off which, if it was a tactical decision, was a very poor one. Don't care though, a try is a try and a win is a win.

 

[lynam1104]

Meh. Thought we would win but I don't mind they wanted it more played better and deserved the win. Also I'm glad it wasn't a bad win they didn't deserve because then that would be further paper of the cracks. It's good to see club rugby doing well across the broad in Ireland.

 

[monkeypigeon]

Should be great Leinster to win think Munster still won't get a try but keep in touch thanks to O'Gara's metronomic boot Leinster to pull away in last 20 thanks to players like Healy and McLaughlin off bench.

No, they'll get three.

Delighted to win that. They deserve to win the league to be fair.

Paul Darbyshire at the end was a nice (but sad) moment.

I'll just comment on the younguns.

McFadden > D'Arcy
O'Mahony > every scrumhalf (in Ireland).
Felix Jones should be at the World Cup.
Danny Barnes did well and got tired at the end.
Sherry > Varley

And this may be passed off as Munster bias but I'd bring Ryan to the world cup ahead of Kevin Mc.

Leinster were already on a beach somewhere in the Mediterranian/Carribian/Hawaii. Munster wanted it much more and deserved the win. AlsoFair play to ROG with Paul Derbyshire. He's not a complete dick after all.

 

[munstermuffin]

Well lads will be brief but what a win. Still alot of respect to Leinster they really are a class act but tiredness caught up and we wanted it more today.
Will just comment on Munster now in brief.
Munster scrum really stood up today and was superb.
We heard alot of crap over weekend but everyone just took it in and didn't engage in words just took motivation.
I said it before and will state it again now Felix should be Irish 15 in New Zealand.
We did excellent in defense especially when DOC got binned.
Donnacha Ryan has 100% played himself onto plane to New Zealand and well if someone tells me Connor Murray isn't in top 3 9's going to RWC I'll be wondering what is going on.
Paul O'Connell and Wallace really stood up today and really showed they still offer something.

In fairness though Irish rugby won today as both teams did alot well, We learnt alot for RWC and provinces both had silverware.
We won league handy and earned our trophy today. Same goes for Leinster last week. Now for a night in town to celebrate and will give a proper analysis tomorrow.
Also glad to see Darbs involved as he has done so much good for Munster rugby and it was harder for him being from Warington and a League background, hope he continues to try visit us often.

ROG and Darbs are really close mates with Darbs been god father to ROG's kid and lads let's not forget Irish boys only get 24 Days of "holidays"

I agree about Donnacha Ryan. He has been in great form of late and although I think McLaughlin has come back well I think Ryan is playing better. Ryan is just as good if not better in the lineout and I have seen McLaughlin miss alot of tackles of late (the missed one on howlett today and the one on Wilson last week are just to that have popped into my head) McLaughlin may be a slight better ball carrier but I think Ryan offers more ATM.
