Munster Team Talk Thread - New season title pending....

sydthebeat

Someone's hearing something cos the spread has gone from -1 to -3 in the last few hours

A saracens A team can be quite as lethal as any senior side

This 2 games will most likely define our campaign.

They really, really can't. But they can be pretty decent and Munster absolutely need to beat a pretty decent side home and away to be in a good place to advance.

PTH would be afraid for Munster if the Saracens U10s pitched up.

If Saracens do leave out the key stars, denying them a LBP should be the goal.

Starting to smell like a gimme.

I doubt it'll be that simple tbh.

A weakened Saracens team got absolutely spanked by Racing in round one.

Not sure how much you can read into that.

If Sarries travel without their big stars then Munster should win, but we have lost to Leinster B at home more than once too.

Reckon we might see a backrow of POM, Stander and Botha

Awful news for Tyler if that neck injury is true.

On the other hand opportunity knocks for Healy, he should get more game time

If WWE has taught me anything (its taught me a lot) I expect that Munster will be struggling with 10 minutes left, their lineout on the Sarries 5 ... the glass breaks and out comes Paulie in the full gear. Manic aggression, the whole lot.
Music optional.

He won't the next two weekends. Expect a 6/2 bench split again.

Don't be ridiculous. In that situation, all the lights in Thomond Park would suddenly go out and in the darkness and confusion a lone bell would begin to slowly toll. The lights come back on and there's POC in the middle of the lineout, he takes the ball in one hand, charges through the Sarries forward pack before slamming the ball down for the match winner.

If it's going WWE he could clatter one of the Sarries players with it so..

munter still available at -2

i reckon that will drift a few points after the teams named if the above is true.

The Lost Sheep

Huge few weeks. Sell out and win should have huge boost for ticket sales for following weeks games.
Set piece will need be way better than against racing

When is the team named?

It's pretty much always midday on a Friday for a game on Saturday or Sunday.

whatawaster

Saracens backing themselves to win all their home games and Ospreys away - 20/21 points, get out of the group and take it from there.

callow enough starting 15, and even callower (?) bench

aloooof

Was expecting a stronger Sarries team than that. A 4-1 win with Saracens losing BP would be disappointing here, I think.

Munster are going to 5-0 that side.
