This time last year the possibility of PuC being used for a Munster Rugby game was also branded as "Ridiculous"

Christ, I've read some scutter in my time but that is surely up there.

The broadcaster or lack thereof would not be a topic of discussion between the owner and the temporary tenant of the stadium.

It was a question not a comment.

It'd be more likely Amazon Prime or someone in that vein pick this up than GAAGO

Details about MRSC presale sent by email while ago. Ticket link live from Thursday the 1st of September from Noon until 6PM Monday the 5th of September. 4 tickets per account limit.

MRSC members also get a 10% discount on the prices and lower ticketmaster fees during the pre-sale window

01-09-2022 12:06pm

Tickets got!

Disappointed I couldn't get any for the South Stand.

Maybe its a case that the South Stand is reserved for the 10 Year Ticket Holder Presale, Munster Rugby Sponsors Presale and Munster Rugby Clubs Presale?

Eod100 · 01-09-2022 12:06pm

Booked 3 tickets there in South stand upper. Seem to be able to go back in and book 2 more so not sure is it 4 tickets per transaction or per account.

Eod100 · 01-09-2022 12:09pm

Also seems to be an extra category of tickets of 54e each so assume 60e before the 10% discount.

Red Silurian · 01-09-2022 12:29pm

Looks like those €54/€60 tickets are gone and the TM booking fee is €2 per ticket

Have to say there's nothing wrong with those prices in fairness

I logged in at exactly 12 pm and search the 3 South Stand options and got "No Results".

I can have the option of 102, 303, 304, 309 and 310 now, I was gonna email to swap them but I'm happy in 405.

Akrasia · 02-09-2022 10:26pm

London Irish match was a game of 2 halves (again)

First half was pretty woeful, but the 2nd half saw some excellent attacking rugby

There were wholesale changes at halftime again, but some standout performers

Crowley was very good at 10 when he came on

Patterson at 9 had another good week to back up last weeks performance. A few errors, but facilitated the game the team seemed to be trying to play

Fekitoa was awesome again

Frische was good too

Odogbo was an absolute machine, huge power and impact off the bench

Ahern had some great moments and looks really athletic. One of the outstanding performances in the 1st half

Klein was great in defence in the 1st half

Okeki made some big movements from number 8, he looks to be almost ready to go at URC level at least

phog · 03-09-2022 12:18am

Pretty piss poor performance from Munster, I know it's a new coaching team and guys have to get used to what's being asked of them but there was very little to get excited about tonight.

I know it's early days yet but if we face disruption during the emerging Ireland tour to SA it could really affect our standings at the end of the season.

Locke_Lamora · 03-09-2022 9:58am

Looks like someone uploaded the full game to youtube if anyone who missed it wants to catch it before it's taken down.

Would Emerging Ireland want some munster players based on last nights performance?

realhorrorshow · 03-09-2022 11:57am

Is Edwin Edogbo u20 this season?

It was a preseason friendly. It means nothing. Farrell and co will have more than likely already picked their touring party.

No, born in December so just misses out

Akrasia · 03-09-2022 4:06pm

The two games have shown how reliant we are on Casey and Patterson. If we have to start Cronin we're in for a long night. He's just not good enough unfortunately

Treaty fella · 03-09-2022 5:35pm

I was worried about this as well, however once Ethan Coughlan finishes his pre season (started late due to U20)

It should give us a bit more depth/competition for that 3rd spot

phog · 03-09-2022 7:59pm

Yes, Cronin was a contributing factor to our poor performance but no one really shun and he wasn't to blame for all of the bad performance. We had overthrown lineouts, scrum penalties, penalty not finding touch, missed tackles, their first try was down to missed tackles. In the 2nd half we coughed up a try from a scrum on their 22, a few simple passes and they're dotting down for a try without a finger being laid on the ball carrier or receiver.

aloooof · 05-09-2022 10:44am

I think we’re ok in that regard; with Murray and Casey, and Patterson showing a lot of promise Cronin could well be out 4th choice now. (I do wonder if this is the season we could see Casey overtaking Murr as first choice tho).

I'd be more concerned about other positions, the obvious one being tighthead. We really need at least one of Knox or Salanoa to step into first choice this year.

If we are in a situation where we must go that far down the depth chart we are just bang out of luck anyway...

shootermacg · 05-09-2022 1:50pm

In the first half, the 9, 10, 12 were poor in defense. LI just kept sending strong runners into that space and made huge gains.

05-09-2022 2:31pm

I must say I was very impressed with Fekitoa in the past 2 weeks. Two very strong showings. The cynic in me was expecting a World Cup winner to be phoning it in to some degree. I was slightly surprised to see him at 12 I must admit.

I had him down as more of an outside centre and Frisch down as an inside centre. Was surprised to seem them the other way around.

Frisch did seem very composed with ball in hand.

Yeah, he certainly looks like a guy who leads by example. Great to see.

phog · 06-09-2022 12:12pm

At this stage there seems to be only tickets for behind the goals for the friendly v SA in PuC.

That's good going with them only on sale a few days.

Yeah saw that this morning , that is a massive amount of tickets sold , could well be a sell out
