#9 is irrelevant when your pack is getting minced.
I don't want to sound like a broken record but Kieran Treadwell really is nothing other than another Diack but without the lineout talent. What a waste. Ship him out.
Deysel is completely done.

At least we weren't playing Leinster.

Munster won a game they were expected to win ...nothing to see here - move on ...
and on ... and on ... and on.
To be fair, although I knew Ulster were weakened I didn't realise just how weak they are. They should be ashamed after that effort.
Munster weren't even great. They just had to play reasonably to ensure an easy victory. There were some decent individual performances. POM utterly educated both the Ulster backrow and his own backrow colleagues on effective back row play. He kind of had to after last week's efforts. Of course there are folk who like to lose who are whinging about him.
That scrum half looks handy and Carbery, one poor missed tackle aside, continues to endear himself to us Munsterfans.
Munster now need to perform against a decent team. They get their chance next weekend and I'd be happy if they were competitive as it is not a game I have any expectation of winning.

Ok, let’s not get all dramatic here. Yes brad pitt result. But , move on.

This is beginning to read like a Facebook page.
What did we know coming into the season.
Shanahan we a wee boy in a mans world, we had little to no strength in depth but had a raft of young players with potential,we lost for various reasons serious experienced players and we needed a year or more to build a team.
We got lucky in our first 4 matches and showed some stickability but we were brittle and loose in defence.
Someone please tell me what has changed from these known facts.

Re: Munster V Ulster Sat 29th Sept 7:15
Which plays into the Munster strategy of having fast line speed. Additionally, having a muck 9 who doesn't know how to kick, adds to our problems. Billy Burns is a young inexperienced 10, he has to learn.kingofthehill wrote:Billy Burns has done nothing for me to suggest the 10 shirt is his. He doesn’t attack the line at all,just ships the ball on while static.

Re: Munster V Ulster Sat 29th Sept 7:15
I thought Carbery was muck tonight and was being carried. He threw one pass for a try and scored from broken play. He's a 15 masquerading as a 10....... Billy Burns is young and inexperienced but yet still looked more like a 10 than Carbery did IMO. Think back to young Paddy J when he had his first season.....Bart S wrote:People on here are quick to rubbish Carbery or even Keatley but Burns has not shown anything to suggest he is better or even as good.kingofthehill wrote:Billy Burns has done nothing for me to suggest the 10 shirt is his.

I haven't seen anything of young McPhillips this season. How has he been playing? Is it he who you think should be getting the shirt?

Apart from one loopy pass out to someone on the wing to score and scoring from open play, please edumacate me on anything that Carberry did to impress you? I didn't even know he was playing for the first 20 minutes, he was like the invisible man.

Not much has changed. I have to say, i was quite impressed with some of the younger ones. A season or two of rebuilding awaits!
Re: Munster V Ulster Sat 29th Sept 7:15
Skiboo speaks the truth. There will be worse to come.
That being said the manner of the performance will be unacceptable to many.

Re: Munster V Ulster Sat 29th Sept 7:15
Let's not forget the headline of the final score. At no time has a 64 7 defeat to another Irish province been acceptable . Notwithstanding the relative strength\ weakness of the teams and irrespective of the competence of the officials the result is almost the inevitable result of the 4 previous games. For me this is a clear yellow card for the UR management from Cunningham down. pi$h poor squad players , weakness in the face of IRFU dictates and total incompetence in either recruiting a head coach or CEO says it all. Now who do I blame_ ?out
