I hope that Roly is not watching BYs as he generally does not play well against CM, or we will be hearing about DC again.Tiger93 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2017 1:34 pm How about a bit of positivity?
Youngs and Ford have the capability to control this game from 9 and 10. Box kick battle will be crucial, both Thompstone and May could play blinders! Smith needs to tackle for his life and Tait has been looking decent with ball in hand in recent times. Piece of Veainu magic would be nice too.
Apart from Traynor that's a very very good pack and maybe Kyle will raise his game around others? I know the bench isn't massively strong but if and when the game opens up a tad Harrison, Thacker and Malouf are very handy options to have. Mike Williams is a beast too and I expect him to make a big impact. Mulipola coming on and carrying is an asset too.
Reiterate my initial point though: Youngs and Ford need to be on point.

Trouble is BY likes to try and play like CM instead of playing like BY
Re: Munster vs Tigers
I have faith in Traynor at the end of the day he is still an experienced Scottish international, so we will have to wait and see. As long as we come away with something and have a bit more respectable score than the 38-0 drubbing last year then that should be ok considering we don't have Genge, Toomua or Tuilagi at our disposal.
Hopefully I'll be cheering at the TV tomorrow instead of shouting

Re: Munster vs Tigers
Very sorry for use of initials, Ben Youngs is playing against Connor Murray tomorrow, and if you have been reading Rolys comments, BYs is not as good as Danny Care, we may hear more from Roly tomorrow night!

Re: Munster vs Tigers
I'd feel a lot more confident with Gengey out there. I don't say this about many players but sadly I genuinely think that Kyle Traynor is a bit rubbish. I think we might get mullered in the scrum today.
I saw Marika Vunibaka play
Re: Munster vs Tigers
I sincerely hope not but fear it may be a possibility. Loss of Gengey looks huge for us.
I'm not cynical just experienced

to be honest I’ll probably shouting at both Veainu and the Television

Re: Munster vs Tigers
I believe that the Munster pack will be too strong and therefore Ben & George will spend the majority of the game on the back foot. The line-out too will be under severe pressure. I do expect (as always) a big performance in defence from the Tigers and that the mullering will not materialise? I do not see where the Tigers will dominate except maybe in broken play but even then it will be on scraps. I'm and not being negative but realistic given the number of trys leaked over the past 3 game and the pack being really up against it. I would like to think that when I check for the results around 10pm I have an early christmas present from the Tigers - tho' I doubt it but anything can happen as long as there is not the repetition of having 3 players in the sin-bin!!
