What a night! Freezing cold, soaked and baited to death but then that lovely warm feeling inside after the win. After-game hospitality was huge - thank you Munster!! I still watch the recording of the gameBeeJ wrote:Don't forget after we beat them in 2007 they tore the stadium down!sapajo wrote:Nice to see your not bitter or twisted after Tigers beat the out of ye, at Thomond Park last season.

Re: Munster v Leicester, Thomond Park
My Dad was offered a ticket for that famous game but said he couldn't afford to go. He watched the game in Cosby, had one too many celebrating and promptly got stopped for driving over the limit. Cost him a lot more than a weekend in Limerick!! Wrong decision!!!

Re: Munster v Leicester, Thomond Park
Obviously sport is so predictable, because if A beats B and B beats C then A will always win against C, so after the first couple of games of the season the table is set and there is no need to play any more games. So simple I wonder why we continue to have a season at all.munsterfan98716 wrote:We bet Glasgow easily with 14 men after Keith was unjustly sent off.

Re: Munster v Leicester, Thomond Park
Watch Earls' tackle here. The Glasgow hooker clearly lands on the back of his head and, according to the new rulings, it's a red card.munsterfan98716 wrote:We bet Glasgow easily with 14 men after Keith was unjustly sent off.

Watch Toomua's tackle here. The Glasgow fly-half partially breaks his fall with his arm and elbow. This most likely saved it being a red as opposed to the yellow the ref gave.
I admit Toomua's tackle was bad but to claim he should have seen red whilst Earls was, to use your words, 'unjustly sent off' smacks of the partisan, one-eyed bias I normally associate with the Shed at Gloucester.

Looks like someone has come over on a fishing trip....
Are you going to the return game BeeJ? I'll be catching the train from Belper with a few other Munster fans to keep me company.

Re: Munster v Leicester, Thomond Park
From Planet Rugby:
Peter O’Mahony is in a race against time to be fit for Munster’s Champions Cup clash with Leicester on Saturday.
The Munster captain picked up a back injury in their PRO12 match against Glasgow last weekend, but Director of Rugby Rassie Erasmus is confident O’Mahony will be fit to play against Leicester.
Centre Jaco Taute and Duncan Williams are also struggling with rib and shoulder injuries respectively, but all three players are expected to play this weekend.

Re: Munster v Leicester, Thomond Park
7 of us going from here to meet up with 5 cousins from Tralee & Limerick - OMG! Could be hard keeping up with them!
Like JJF, I think it'll be very hard to equal last year' s result as they seem to be on the 'up' with the Foley effect and Ireland's successes. Hope our returning internationals can bring the attitude and skills to the game - desperately need YBY, Coles and Veainu to do well for us.

Bateman to start again for me. That'll be his biggest challenge as a tighthead yet though.
Re: Munster v Leicester, Thomond Park
Oh yes we'll be there. We'll be taking the train but cannot decide whether to get the 11.59 or 12.59 from Belper.Munster Exile wrote:Are you going to the return game BeeJ? I'll be catching the train from Belper with a few other Munster fans to keep me company.
Re: Munster v Leicester, Thomond Park
According to this article, Crofty missed the Saints game at the weekend due to food poisoning. Dodgy doughnuts maybe?strawclearer wrote: Dan Cole out for the Munster match:

Re: Munster v Leicester, Thomond Park
I'd start with Mulipola. I really like Bateman but we need serious power on the carry to start the game (admittedly, that does involve Logo actually getting his hands on the ball, unlike last week) to try and get their pack moving backwards and worry the crowd early.
I'd go with:
1. Genge
2. YTY
3. Logo
4. Ed
5. Kitch (Barrow if fit)
6. Fitz (Williams if fit)
7. BOC
8. McCaffery
9. YBY
10. Fred
11. JP
12. Williams
13. Manu
14. Thompstone
15. Worth (Veainu if fit)
16. Thacker
17. Bateman
18. Cilliers
19. Hamilton
20. Evans
21. Harrison
22. Roberts
23. Betham
Very excited for it, my first trip to Thommond Park. Staying at Woodfield Hotel which I think is pretty central. Any recommendations for bars/grub gratefully received.

I would say there is no best but instead many many places littered all over you could stumble in which are full of good beer, Rugby fans and screens showing the Rugby aplenty
