It takes leather balls to play rugby.

A great win by a super team, well done Munster, but go easy on the nerves, just doing enough to win is hard to take.

Oh and I forgot, well done the lads. Nice to see a real game (Not soccer)for a change.

Since winning in 2006 and losing it in 2007, they played this season with an unequalled determination to get back what was 'rightfully theirs'. Well done Munster, a great win!

Good luck to Declan in his new venture.

And nice to beat Toulouse as well.

It acts as a moral salve for the pain of the way the Irish national team has given away their games against France over the last few years.

It used to be that England was the whipping boy of the 5(6) nations. All is forgiven ... just as long as we can beat the French!

Can you lads and lassies please have a whiparound to send me some good earplugs as the whinging down here (SW France) is getting well nigh unbearable??
However the Aussies managed to give that particular label to the 'Poms' and miss out on the French, I'll never know...

And I felt sorry for that guy from Cardiff who blew the penalty kick, too.

Ha ha ...

Sean, perhaps it would be more in order to video some of it and put it on you tube where it can be shared by some of us over here too.

I would savour that sound like a fine wine ... or would that be pint of guinness ...

I do hope you're milking it for all it's worth ...

Seeing as I only have a radio and occasional access to the papers - it's mainly coming at me through those media (bit hard to video :-<).
Rest assured - there are enough sour grapes going around to keep a couple of UK supermarket chains in bad overpriced French plonk for a few years to come...
Isn't that right Serge Blanco ???
If pressed, I do suggest that there is a Sevens tournament in Hong Kong they might like to enter, if they don't like playing with all 15 players... and Pelous will probably find a kick-boxing tournament around those parts too :-))

That's the spirit Sean.

Looks like your doing a fine job of extracting every drop of enjoyment from the whole shenanigans.

Our man undercover!

Keep up the good work!

Full of 'patates' ye mean Ard Mhacha ??
I saw the game on the night alright - though through beer goggles - if there's a montage of all the sour grapes since from the French media - I think I'll give it a miss though :->

Well, I saw the game in the Ventry Inn with a cousin-in-law who kept saying things like, "Well, it's not my game so I don't know much about it, but ya see, that pass will cause a scrum now. Would you like another pint?" Since he's one of Ireland's senior handball champions he probably doesn't know much about the game, but he knew about 99% more than I did.

But I can tell well-played games I think, and this was one.

Footage ...

... could be pronounced in a suspiciously french manner ...

... could be the "real french campaign" word for rugby ...


Alors les Mecs ... qui veut jouer au footage? ...

They make good cheese, and the occasional drinkable Gewurtztraminer, too. The Fete des Vins at Munster is worth a visit.
