Don't feel bad Leicester are shite as well.
I see Turkish Airlines were a pitch sponsor tonight. Any hope they take Foley, Keatley, Botha, Scannell, Hurley, Murray & that dinosaur Jerry Holland to Istanbul on a one way ticket.
Munster absolutely ****. Foley out
Both , foley and Keatley out.
rolling maul was brought down on the line and 2 players came in at the side.
Axil has to go and soon! The minimum you would expect from a team coached by the man is a pack that can ruck and maul and he is not even providing this! Thought the back row and Conway were good today but where was everyone else? Keithly shocking again!
That's Munster gone, they won't get best runner up and neither will Stad. Irish rugby needs to take a long hard looks to irish rugby and ask why are Connaught the best team currently? Academies need to be properly managed and unfortunately we will probably lose our best players overseas no matter what the irish players say about being looked after better here. If they want to play winning rugby they will need to travel abroad and we will have to accept that. If that is the case we will find it difficult to attract decent coaches and foreign players. Our only hope is for a team to punch above their weight as Munster used to do but as the English and French teams are now a lot better than they were 10 years ago this will be difficult. This is not only an Irish problem, Wales, Scotland and Italy all face the same difficulties - European club rugby has become two tiered and we are in the lower tier unfortunately.
I know Irish fans were supposed to be content with being plucky underdogs but I thought we were supposed to be over that
Worrying thing is that Leicester didn't play well at all, outside the couple of moments of magic from Youngs and Goneva.
Some nice offloads too ..
