Magners League: Munster 19 Leinster 9

by

, ,

Apologies to my Munster mates for not getting this one up sooner, it’s not that I was huffing due to getting yet another prediction wrong but rather that I’ve been having bother with the galleries and photo’s in general all weekend – plus of course I had to fit in my favourite night of the year, the Ulster Women’s Awards.

I don’t know how many times I’ve written off Munster this season and once again, like an gnarly old mongrel, they’ve risen up and bit me on the arse with this power packed performance. More surprising than anything really is that they actually played the better rugby throughout the game.

It was a game too far for Leinster with several of their players looking jaded after last weekend and, the under fire bogmen just wanted it more, with Munster so pumped that they gave Leinster no time or space . . .

    I thunk you really under estimated the Munster desire factor . Munster as they say in some parts hate the Ladyboys ” with a passion and with Leinster winning the week before their motivation was well primed.

    Then add the absence of D’Arcy in the centre ( Mcfadden in my opinion has yet to prove he can perform on a big stage/occassion) Redden performing below par and BoD taking an early body check the Leinster backline misfired most of the game.

    The penalty try was always a possiblity especially late in the second half . I have always said that I fear Cullen is not a scrummager and that the set scrum is the potential Achilles heel of the Leinster game.

    Congratulations to both sides for an exciting game which showed the Magners league to be a more enterprising .league than the much over hyped English final played earlier in the afternoon
