Kind of similar tackle to the ones that got the Boks red cards the last few weeks so I assume that the messaging internally down there was that these types of tackles should be no penalty.

We didn’t score a single try at 15v15. We got one try from a penalty & Crowley moving to 10 and proceeded not to come close to getting another the rest of the match.

We were at no point the better side. The forwards couldn’t carry the ball at all & the attack was only ever going side ways. Multiple times they got a penalty to get 5m out and couldn’t punch it in. The scoreline was flattering.

You’d imagine that Schmidt will be happy to see the lack of carriers & jackalers in the pack and the choice at 10.

Hopefully they don’t say to themselves “let’s ignore the issues, don’t try to improve and end up like the Welsh”.

If Cullen is sending out guys who are not prepared to play a competitive match or don’t care or something then that is a damning indictment of him.

It was the same Leinster pack as last week’s match with two international 2nd rows brought in, one of which has been playing at international level the last while. I just think that rustiness, settled sides, injuries had little to do with as there wasn’t actually much difference between the two.

Leinster did play preseason games & all but 4 of their 23 yesterday had played competitive minutes this season.
Munster also made 10 changes from last week and they had made around the same number from the week prior.

It was only like 4 Leinster players playing their first match of the season so I don’t think rust had much to do with it. And if it’s a case of these guys not being ready to play while Beirne is, then questions should be asked of the coaches & the players and their preparation.

Beirne didn’t look rusty despite it being his first match of the season.

From the players he has picked for the last several years. This is not some state secret.

Your guy Baird has missed two tackles in the first 5 minutes here, pal. Literally on the opening kickoff he was in his ass.

You’re just picking out the stats & opinions you want to back your pre determined opinion and ignoring stuff that upsets you. The original post had nothing to do with Baird or Leinster but you started crying because god forbid some non Leinster players ever be praised. Sad stuff from you really.

Coombes & Timoney are from different provinces. Baird did very little as he tends to do for Ireland. Low tackle numbers, not much carrying and the like. Had a couple of offloads which makes people think he did stuff. Maybe stop showing your provincial bias.

I understand that Farrell wants this big kicking game now but these packs that can’t carry & such a passive 10 in Prendergast is creating an ineffective attack that is largely hoping for mistakes & individual moments of brilliance. Crowley keeps showing that he can drive them on so much better.

Whole point of picking these third/fourth choice players is that they know the system & have cohesion so there’s not excuse for the guy not performing.

I don’t think there’s much evidence to suggest that McCarthy is a greater talent than Stewart or Barron and if he is then it should be questioned as to why he hasn’t shown it today.

Well you can get these huge money signings and carousel of youngsters when you have the union slashing everyone else’s budget & axing sevens programmes in order to fund everything for you.

Doesn’t seem ideal if we have some guy, who’s clearly not a match official, going on the pitch and putting his hands on players. Something you’d hope Munster & the IRFU would getting onto the URC over.

A 10 second penalty seems like a bit of a joke and not much of a deterrence for the future.

Mightn’t be on the same level as the Harlequins blood capsule, but the guy has faked an injury & is winking at people about it while the ref does nothing. This kind of thing is supposed to be banned.

Looking forward to seeing how some sections of the media here will find a way to blame Munster.

Unsurprising that Adamson decided to just stand there and do nothing when it was all going on.
