Christ.

[Munster-fogs]

The fact that Kleyn will be out for an extended period too only makes things worse. I honestly can't believe our luck.

[ticketlessinseattle]

its a complete sh1t show of luck ; POM and Archer ? I think Killer is possibly a bigger loss than Kleyn - step forward Thomas Ahern

[ticketlessinseattle]

Snyman must have cost more per minute than Messi

[HighKingLeinster]

Fuck sake, even I was looking forward to seeing him play for Munster this season. 7 mins into debut and will now likely miss the whole season

De Allende will probably be hit by a meteor next week

[handyman]

Fok Munster, it took you all of 7 minutes to break him.

[HighKingLeinster]

powder puff saffers cant handle the blood and guts action of Irish rugby. nothing but cheap shot merchants or softcocks

[Holy Moly]

any word on Snymans injury?

Anyone got a video or a gif? Would like to see it again. At the time I felt he jumped across the line so POM completely lost contact with him, couldn’t really see the rear lifter but Snyman was left to drop without anyone guiding him down. An extremely costly fuck up for Munster in every way.

Could it have been somewhat caused by unfamiliarity ? Maybe not used to each other in competitive situations and a dose of bad luck ?

nah just poor by the lifters to (elite) support the jumper

[irishrugbyua]

the elite support really should have been there for Jumper.

[Lazy couch potato]

Bad luck all round. Would worry about kleyn too tbh not his first neck injury. He’s had long layoffs for it in the past.

Time to promote the young lads.

Every cloud - Ahern is quality and was never going to get much of a look in otherwise

This. JJ's just publicly been given tenure and signs are younger lads still need a lucky break for gametime.

If Larkham has a greater say in selection hopefully we'll evolve a bit next season.

We're all over on the Nama thread, and it's the longest one on the new bored so far. Wait til we get an Irish squad named, then this'll take off.

So like the bog Irish. Bemoaning the fact someone else is talking more utter shite than them.
What an infantile impulse.

Perhaps less talk and more do. Then maybe just maybe you little blowhards may finally be rewarded with your little nations greatest sporting achievement.

The actual semi final of a RWC.

Notice I used the word actual. That means the actual real semi final. Not the fantasy scenario you little people spent 10000 pages in the other place wanking each other over. And for what. Just another QF debacle. And this is after a decade of poaching Brain, brawn and skill from the South.

Ireland magnificent one day(in their own little minds) splattered and sent back to the bog again the next(in reality).

Did someone not get texted back by an Irish bird they stuck the lips on once upon a time?
Let it go man.

[HighKingLeinster]

So reckon thats Anon or that gobshite JPB

[handyman]

I'm still angry about the Irish breaking Snyman in all of 7 minutes. Have to say hard luck, he is one hell of a player and I'm sad you won't get to see him in full flight soon.

[EnergiseR]

It's a whole lot of 2.49am jalopy

This is the problem with you lot. Absolute fantasists and highly delusional.

Wasn’t it Kermit that used to come on PR drunkenly rambling and insulting everyone in sight?
Another candidate perhaps.

So much effort, so little substance. We have ourselves an antipodean.

Noises coming out from the Ulster camp that Stewart Moore will be starting this weekend.

Young Ulster player getting gametime in a Lions year can only mean one thing

[NorthWestRugby]

Speaking of Lions-certainties from Ulster, I thought O’Sullivan and O’Toole looked sharper than the men they replaced on Sunday. O’Toole looked like he had bulked up in a good way.

to be fair it wouldn't have been hard to look sharper than Marty Moore on Sunday

perhaps Ulster are cunningly trying to woo the Star Wars fanbase to supplement their own by playing Jabba the hut at tighthead. Its a bold strategy

[irishrugbyua]

So possible Ulster XV??

1. McGrath
2. Herring
3. O'Toole
4. Carter
5. Treadwell
6. Timoney
7. Murphy
8. Coetzee
9. Cooney
10. Burns.
11. Ludik
12. McCloskey
13. Moore
14. Gilroy
15. Stockdale

[irishrugbyua]

Expected Leinster side:

1. Ed Byrne
2. Sean Cronin

11. Ludik
12. McCloskey
13. Moore
14. Gilroy
15. Stockdale

might see a bit more rotation with the likes of Lowry, Rea and hopefully Rea getting some game time although we need to play ourselves into a bit of form ahead of the knock out games so need to get the mix right

12. McCloskey
13. Moore

so Ulster going for all guns blazing. I suppose this is their biggest game of the season so can leave anything behind

Based on the Connacht game, Ulster look like they might be sharing the minutes rather than naming first/ second-string teams. Probably not a bad idea when the results don’t matter.
