2014 Autumn Internationals

[Russ]

Ticket prices just announced

Pretty decent, usual complaints online from Munter about ticket prices, times and dates.

For any sensible person there are decent packages to go and see St Ruan or Ireland dismantle Georgia

Booked a hotel for the South Africa game.

How bad are Cat 4 tickets?

Seems if you want international tickets for just a single match you have to make do with ones near the back. The front half of each tier is for those who want ticket packages.

Does anyone know what Ulster players were down at Carton House yesterday and today for a mini camp squad session? Cannot find a list of those involved anywhere.

The presence of relatively unfamiliar faces such as Jared Payne, Dave Foley and Nathan White meant this camp involved going through those basics that Bowe mentions above.

Aye I see Bob Carney has reported on this too.
Answering very leading questions that point to him at 13

Nathan White decent 18 month stop gap at THP until some of the younger guys come through?

Mike Ross is past it / never had it.

Who will be international THP standard in 18 months?

Big issue now is Cian Healy injury. He is pretty much fecked for the next 5 months or so.

Need McGrath to stay fit and to have improved. I don't like the idea of Ireland depending on Kilcoyne to produce. I wouldn't even have him on the Munster team ahead of Cronin.


Apart from the scrummaging concern it does remove an effective ball carrier as well. With doubts about SOB this is a nightare scenario as we have feck all other carriers of note.


In an ideal world Cronin would already be experienced and I'd slot him in because he can carry and he has a ton of aggression. But as usual Munster are waiting for him to apply for his old age pension before he is old enough to be the regular starter.....

Irish rugby can p1ss me off at times with its conservatism, even though I know in some cases there's good reasons to hold players back.
