I was thinking a bit more short-term. Say - Saturday at 3.15pm?drc_007 wrote:I think it will be, they just need to have played together for a few months....strawclearer wrote: I think this might prove to be a rather good side!

This is a massive game for Ben. Despite a great international period everyone still has Murray nailed on for the Lions 9 shirt. Ben will want to play out of his skin and get one up here. Massive incentive for him to have a big and important game.ourla wrote: I hope Ben Youngs doesn't have a problem with motivation after his England exploits and can slot back in.

Munster forum thinks the ref is in our favour as he's likely to be random.
I can see where they are coming from.

Hope I'm wrong but I can't see this team beating Munster away. Are Ayerza & JPP & Tait injured because this is the sort of game where I think they are needed.sapajo wrote:With no Ayerza, no Cole, no JP its going to be a very tough day at the office come Saturday. I remain positive but its based solely upon hope that we turn up and put in a committed, tenacious, dogged and winning performance
PS Thought Mike Williams would have been on the bench having warmed up against Saints last week?
Nowadays referees decide matches, players by how much.

Re: Munster v Leicester, Thomond Park
I like the look of the team but wouldn't be surprised to see a late withdrawal or two.
Re: Munster v Leicester, Thomond Park
A good side considering who is available but also share the disappointment of Thacker not being in the mix. He brings an added threat to a tiring defence which few hookers exhibit.

Re: Munster v Leicester, Thomond Park
Eddie Jones has also made it clear that one way to get yourself out of the England squad is to go back to your club and rest on your laurels. Constant improvement is the order of the day, no matter where you are playing.Will S wrote:This is a massive game for Ben.

Re: Munster v Leicester, Thomond Park
Can't see a win coming. Short of a few key players and fighting the Foley Effect. Expectation managed but still looking forward to the game. I still have hope........and Remy of course!

Re: Munster v Leicester, Thomond Park
Coincidentally I am going to be in Leicester tomorrow when the game is on. Any recommendations of where to watch it? Near the train station would be convenient.
Re: Munster v Leicester, Thomond Park
I think this approaching our best side with three exceptions, Veianu for Worth, and the props if fit it would be Ayerza and Cole and of course JP Petersen on the uing. Let's just hope everybody performs to their best.
