Munster Team Talk Thread - Beirne After Reading

Former Former Former

I heard on Twitter that the weather was nice and a few people got together for a barbecue. Not sure how accurate that is but explosive stuff if it is.

At least we'll get to see how munster can cope without the foreign contingent, a good test for some of the young Irish lads

Well the BBQ was explosive...

Genuinely hope the lads aren't too badly hurt
They've had a long 12 months and earned some RnR on a sunny bank holiday weekend

On a slight tangent, is getting injured in your personal life considered to be contractually equal to an injury training/playing if you are a pro athlete?

Quotes from DDA.

As of now rg has been the most disappointing signing we've ever had. I hope we get something out of him next year

Playing with fire... absolutely stupid and just dumb luck a tragedy was averted

Not the brightest the Rugby lads

Idiots.

This is just specatularly dangerous and stupid. I imagine the player who threw the petrol onto the fire is in a spot of bother with his colleagues.

But who on earth keeps a can of petrol near an open fire anyway?

DDA says that they'll hopefully be back in a few weeks; it certainly could have been a lot worse.

Not if they had a few beers on board.

Or else the petrol story is because the truth is far more embarrassing. At least nobody was seriously injured.

I'd be very interested to hear what could be more embarrassing for a grown man suffering significant injuries due to throwing a potent fuel on open flames!

Looking on the bright side, at least CJ hasn't blamed the ref for the incident - yet!

I know it's easy to criticise people for lacking common sense after the fact, but i actually hate when people do that because "common sense" is only common after the fact and things have gone wrong. But I would have thought that at least one of the SA boys would be experienced at setting fires and would have told them the petrol is a terrible (and unnecessary) idea. Maybe none of them had a clue about what they were doing.

I hope they're all ok but that's a bit ridiculous. CJ to miss his final game with Munster.

Ospreys vs Benetton cancelled,
Benetton awarded 4 points as the cases are with the Ospreys guys and are through to the Rainbow cup final.

Whatever that tweet said has been deleted. Stander and Haley have yet to be ruled out of Fridays game though.

thomond2006

There's no point playing CJ now anyway.

We started the Rainbow Cup well, but performances in last couple of games have been lackluster. Really only have ourselves to blame for missing out - the blueprint for beating Connacht was there and we didn't have to deviate from what we had been doing, just needed to get lineouts right and maul.

Probably too late to have an impact on team selection (and the firepit incident will have caused disruption anyways), but will be interesting to see who gets a run out.

A fitting end to a woeful competition

I'd say being experienced at making fires is exactly what led someone to say, sure throw some petrol on it there, I've done it loads of times, be grand.
