Re: Munster vs Tigers
Is Polota Nau registered for European matches? If he is and I've missed it apologies, but he's not in our squad list on here.

Can we bring him in?

Re: Munster vs Tigers
MOC was able to include Tuohy in our European squad so I’m sure he’s able to do it for Polota-NauWhitecapTiger wrote: ↑Sun Dec 03, 2017 7:03 pm Is Polota Nau registered for European matches? If he is and I've missed it apologies, but he's not in our squad list on here.

I'am not sure if we can adjust the team at this stage as we took Rizzo out before the start of the Championship but which winger and hooker do you take of the squad?

I feel that given Telusa Veainu's recent form and his display at Wasps where given his speed & sidestep he resorted to continually running into a nest of Wasp's players. I would try Atieli Pakalani the Tongan Fullback (15) and put Telusa on the bench of finishers @ 21 as Ben White is a scrum half and we have Harrison already on the bench.
Re: Munster vs Tigers
Yes he can be registered as long as it is done before 12 on Tuesday.
3.5 Each club may register up to three additional players during the pool stage, each to replace a player previously registered. If a club registers three additional players, one such player must be a front row player. Additional players must have a three-month contract with the club and must not have played for another club in the tournament. Additional player registrations must be submitted by 12 noon (GMT) on the Tuesday before the match.

Re: Munster vs Tigers
Well, assuming we haven't already registered 2 more in addition to Tuohy (including one front rower) then it definitely looks possible but would mean losing one already registered to fit TPN in - though it doesn't seem clear if it's a same position swap. As long as we've registered TPN by Tuesday at Noon.

Re: Munster vs Tigers
Would not be surprised to see him in instead of Jake Kerr - that would be the logical move to me.
Hehehehehehehehe
Re: Munster vs Tigers
Then surely we couldn't have fielded Kalamafoni, Mapapalangi, Vieanu, Toomua in the Castres game???WhitecapTiger wrote: ↑Sun Dec 03, 2017 7:45 pm 3.7 Each club is permitted a maximum of two 'non-European players' in each match squad.

Re: Munster vs Tigers
Yes it's because of the Kolpak rule below. (The Premiership also has a rule of only allowing two foreign players on the pitch for each team at one time.)JP14 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 03, 2017 8:33 pmThen surely we couldn't have fielded Kalamafoni, Mapapalangi, Vieanu, Toomua in the Castres game???WhitecapTiger wrote: ↑Sun Dec 03, 2017 7:45 pm 3.7 Each club is permitted a maximum of two 'non-European players' in each match squad.
The kolpak agreement states that professional sports players from countries that hold certain association agreements with the EU/EEA, are to be treated as EU citizens and are not subjected to quota regulations. A "kolpak" player is not considered a foreign player under RFU regulations nor is a player married to an EU/EEA passport holder
If you do not hold a EU passport you will require a work permit.
RU work permits
Players from the following countries (IRB designated tier 1 and 2), Argentina, Australia, NZ, South Africa, Canada, Fiji, Japan, Romania, Samoa, Tonga and the USA will be eligible, providing they intend to play at level 1 or 2 (Premiership and Championship) and have started at least 1 international match, during the 15 months prior the work permit application.
Players whose countries are not T1 or T2 must have played 1 international match in the last 15 months AND have 10 caps .

Re: Munster vs Tigers
These are going to be a tough couple of games for both teams, I think 2 points is unlikely. Personally I think 4 points is more likely than 2.
A draw is unlikely so I assume you are thinking four tries and a losing bonus point? Four tries away for home is a big ask for either side.

Although JP said, “This game”, he was talking about the cumulative points over the 2 games.Munster Exile wrote: ↑Mon Dec 04, 2017 11:56 amThese are going to be a tough couple of games for both teams, I think 2 points is unlikely. Personally I think 4 points is more likely than 2.

Re: Munster vs Tigers
If we're going with Manu then he needs to start in case he breaks down. I'm not trying to scaremonger but I'd rather he tried to pace his way through the game than come on for a balls out last 20 and end up breaking himself.JP14 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 03, 2017 6:42 pm This game will be so important for us, I’m hoping for 2 points maybe, Munster have been decent enough this season but have not reached the heights of last season.
