Leinster vs Munster - Highlights from URC

[@zorba4166]

leinster is such well coached team, no matter who is playing the game play , structure and flow is still the same . I commend their coaching staff

[@Sindisile]

True they are well coached, Leo Cullen and Stuart Lancaster, they are sharp aren't they, well Drilled indeed, great to watch. Leo Cullen is a strict guy and demands a lot from his Players I think

[@arianasugar6663]

@@Sindisile yeah he won a lot of trophies as a player too Cullen has very high standards and bringing Lancaster in was a stroke of genius.

[@inBODwetrust13]

@@michaelmarrinan9981 I can certainly see that argument, but in a final 1 moment of magic, 1 extra defender beaten, can be the difference between winning and losing. Larmour possesses more of that than just about any other player in the squad and that could be the difference against the World XV La Rochelle have assembled

[@shawnie5001]

Wow - look at that crowd! Must be awesome to have so much support.

[@one_eyed_odin]

Was a really good game, I wanted to see more of Soroko and Frawley tbh. Jordan played amazing yea wouldn't think he has had injuries a lot of talent in that young man.

[@CanUDiggit89]

Whoever puts this video together needs the sack! 2 scintillating breaks from Larmour were the HIGHLIGHTS of the game but don’t make the “highlights”........should be advertising the game at its best not showing kicks in front of the posts

[@hc8299]

From a Leinster fan I thought Munster played some nice rugby, it’ll just take a while for the new style to take on teams like leinster. Even though it’s a young Leinster team, it was a fairly young Munster team. And no one’s managed to out attack leinster in europe

[@oscarosullivan4513]

JVG has failed to deliver much, hopefully Rowntree is an improvement. Mike Prendergast sounds like a good attack coach. Munster need to fix the player supply issue remove any delving into past glories and the mental block that they aren’t worthy to win. From a Munster fan.

[@hc8299]

@@oscarosullivan4513 I’ve a bit of the feeling that rowntree has a bigger voice in that changing room atm then JVG. I noticed it was right around when he was announced as head coach next season that Munster started to off load more and I wonder was that up to rowntree. As you said Hopefully when Pendergast comes in next year the attack comes together nicely.

[@oscarosullivan4513]

@@hc8299 Still glad to see Leinster win a trophy. I prefer it when Irish teams win.

[@KarlXByrne]

Such is the depth of the Leinster squad and the fruit of the Academy system. It was a great contest but didn't contain the same excitement level as last weeks performance. We had nothing but pride and bragging rights to play for and Munster had much more to play for and could throw everything at it but their A+ came up short to our A-. No offence to our team tonight. Loads of lads raised their hand this evening and have given Leo a happy headache to deal with and great options. Wonderful to see Adam Byrne and Jordan back in action too.

[@andrew097]

It's because they keep playing players, they get the time and experience, That experience for the 4th choice 9 will stand to him in games to come. Leinster did not need to win but each player knew this was their chance to play and compete, that 23 were switched to do their best. So the lads in the stand will be thinking I better be switched on next week.

As a South African I am starting to get familiar with the Northern Hemisphere club teams. And these guys are beasts. Difficult to put down. I am glad my home team the Stormers have shown the club's what we are made of in the bottom of Africa. And they have brought everything to tournament. I also like the change of style we are finding in the NH teams than when we were playing ABs or Wallabies. I think it might be nice to include the Argentines in the URC even for one season just to see how they fare against the NH club teams. I know they will be familiar with the French Clubs.

Leinster have great depth but was it not really more of a C team? They have beaten the leaders in the Premiership at home, dethroned an albeit tired outgoing French holder and national champion.

Possibly the best ever Irish team I have ever seen in 50 odd years watching rugby.

@@moc7323 Murray perhaps increasingly so, but he had a decent 6 Nations. O'Mahony? No way. You need only look at his impact off the bench against NZ in 2021 (or any of Ireland's wins against them) to see he is still meaningful. I'd also argue Earls is a bit of a fine wine player. A year or so past his prime, but by no means replaceable. Leinster are different breed of rugby to anything in Europe rn, only Ulster seem to be matching them routinely and Munster have had their number home and away this season, convincingly.

I'm a Leinster supporter (and anything else Irish after that,😁. Stormers and Sharks are certainly not crap. They are only in the URC a short time. Give it a couple of years and I will say some SA team will be winning this competition, if not this year!. Leinster doesn't have an A team or a B team. They have a bunch of players ranging from the old guard to the up and coming talent. Any coach will tell you, as I'm sure you know that you need to have the replacements for the close to retirement players ready so you don't have slack years. It takes time for players to gel with the team in the same way that itll take the SA teams to gel with the URC. I'll bet that sooner than you think you'll have two SA teams in the final!
