or how about giving him some time with a proper pre-season etc.......Archer for example was totally written off at Munster but has come through well this season, Stan Wright was a write off first...

and when JS doesn't do that and picks guys like McGrath etc for the Amlin Final you complain about not picking strongest team etc.....

Picking James O'Conner at 10 isn't getting rid of the running/skills based game but instead has a 10 who can tackle, kick well, carry well and doesn't just throw the ball away to avoid being...

Healy Hibbard Jones
AWJ, POC
Croft Warburton Heaslip
Phillips Sexton
North Roberts BOD Halfpenny
Kearney

Scrumhalf says he wants his No10 playing with him - wow shock horror.....

Maybe you apply the same logic to Schmidt, Kidney, Gatland picking Heaslip etc....

Well considering the IRFU provide a lot of funding to Munster I'd say pissing them off by trying to pull a stunt like that would cause serious issues....

Anyone who is in Sydney for the games should try to get to North Sydney Oval on the 4th July for the Legends game between Lions v's Aus

Cooper has been earning rave reviews because most people here prefer throwing the ball around willy nilly at all costs over here from the backs.....it also helps him that he drops as far away from...

For the first time in many a season BOD will actually be playing against mainly smaller backs with huge backs around him. That will make a massive difference and all them quality Welsh centres...

Surely he should be grateful that the IRFU let Munster give Botha a new contract?

How come Munster are losing out on players for tax reasons?
MOD EDIT

That's cause the spot is already used up by Ulster....

Munster could have a good year assuming that Kilcoyne, Botha, POC, Murray, Keatley don't get injured.....

So Toulouse aren't a good team either???

What does it say putting out a weakened team and winning by more than 20 points???

So to raise the profile of the Amlin we should play our best team and run the risk of not winning the Rabo next week......when common sense dictates to rotate the team over the 2 games....

So if Clermont/Toulouse were in the Amlin final with the Top14 next weekend they'd play their first choice team in the Amlin???

Hate to break it to you but some teams/coaches believe in rotation...

Yeah must be great being a glorious loser and finished for the year when other teams are in 3 finals.....

Hopefully Eoin O'Malley comes through next season without injury....

Playing a less physical team in Australia and having beasts like North, Cuthbert, Roberts/Tuilagi etc will make things a lot easier for him....

So topping a RWC group, beating a SH in the RWC an in the SH for the first time are all things that didn't happen with ROG as first choice 10 so you saying it wasn't good enough??

Guys like...

No he just got suspensions for deliberately stamping on peoples heads....

It's amazing that with such powderpuff 2nd rows and invisible backrows that we manage to win trophies and beat the top teams on a regular basis.....

Leicster fans never like backs scoring tries as they prefer to play it in the forwards so it might be a good thing.....

Conway though still had a year left on his contract though.....we could have forced him to stay if it came down to it but I suppose if a player wants to leave because he thinks he'll get gametime...

The problem was apart from being injured for a fair bit he was also competing against the likes of Isa/Luke/McFadden etc......Sad that he is leaving but hopefully he gets enough gametime at Munster...
