Is this rock bottom for Munster Rugby? 🦌
Long gone are the days they had 9/10 in the starting team. Considering the added fact that Tadhg Beirne is a product of Leinster's pathwayThey now have only one homegrown representative in the whole squad🤯
Fans will be impatient to see the Edogbos, Gleeson and young O'Shea get their shot and even more impatient for the return of club favourite Crowley
Hopefully the new management and coaching ticket can steer the ship back toward their previous strengths of the naughties! 💪

🚨Irish squad has been announced for the Nations Championship☘️🏆
Uncapped Ulster duo McNabney and Benson get the nod. Both Munster options with Gleeson and O’Shea are snubbed. No complaints on McNabney either but assuming Benson gets the nod for his versatility
Very unimaginative and standard short sighted selection outside of this. Would’ve like to have seen Bryn Ward, McCann, Dan Kelly or another exciting young 9 instead of the known Doak🤷🏼♂️

Anyone know what Nicolas Depoortère did to Fabien Galthié?!😳
He is and has been the best 13 in France for some time now. 23 years old and should have a key role to play in the RWC yet, he is omitted for a 30 year old South African 🤯

Last hurrah for Ben Whitehouse in the middle of the pitch🫱🏻🫲🏼
Didn’t always agree with his calls but always respect someone taking on that challenge as it is not easy!
Hope he goes well this weekend and gets a good send off before the next challenge 👏🏼🏴

Pictures like this are why South Africa will never beat the allegations 😅
Safe to say that Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu never, ever EVER skipped leg day🦿🤯
#STOvBRI #ChampionsCup #Springboks #SARugby #Rugby
Some eye catching omissions from Tandy for the final national squad of the year. Namely, Page, Grady, Tommy Reffell, Dee and Cracknell🤯
However, I think the biggest omission and missed opportunity again is that of Zack Wimbush. We got a glimpse of what he can do against Toulouse. As a youngster with options on which nation to represent- he should be focused to tie down early💯

Another really tough watch from the weekend. Giberts attempt on McCarthy is pitiful here. Shay is not exactly known for his prowess in the contact yet Gibert falls off the effortless bump without making him break stride😬
#MUNvR92 #ChampionsCup #Rugby
This was a really tough watch yesterday. Hendy is fast but not known for his pace like a LRZ or Radwan. Josh Adams days as an inevitable threat on the wing are well and truly over💔

Everyone writing off Prem teams like one round defines the strength of the whole competition. Did the same for the Irish teams in round 1 of the URC (who just went 4/4 in Europe) 😮💨
It’s elite sport, anybody can win on the day. I get half of it is just banter but let’s face it, there’ll be 3/4 Prem sides in QF, 1/2 in SF and maybe 1 in the final🏴
They’re not going too bad in Europe since their recent dominant period with Sarries and Exeter. Few big teams were in a rebuild and likely to compete properly again this year and next 💪🏼

🤩Potential Toulouse back line for 27/28 season:
9. Antoine Dupont
10. Romain Ntamack
11. Ange Capuozzo
12. Santi Chocobares/Gourgues
13. Tommasso Menoncello
14. Will Jordan
15. Blair Kinghorn
Almost every player is in the top 5 in the world in their position🤯
#Top14 #Rugby
🚨 Will Jordan au Stade Toulousain ?!
Simple rumeur d’agent ou vrai hypothèse ?
Selon le média Britannique Ruck, le club s’intéresserait de près à l’un des meilleurs joueurs de la planète.
Remplacer Ramos par Jordan serait un délire sans nom.
Je n’y crois pas une seconde… pour l’instant.

The Rugby Issue retweeted
10bet Lions coach Ivan van Rooyen on the incredible support from La Rochelle after the passing of Hyron Andrews ❤️🤝
#InvestecChampionsCup
Following the tragic death of Hyron Andrews- it was absolute insanity that this game went ahead. These Lions players are clearly not in a fit state to compete in this game, how could they be?
Well done to all involved but they should not have been put in that position💔
Rest in peace, Hyron🕊️

Toulouse came in with a 6/2 split. With two injuries to Chocobares and Menoncello, they now have a patchwork backline for the full second half😬
Add to that a permanent red card for Neto and yellow they are still seeing out for Thomas. The odds is stacking against them‼️
Is this going to be a famous away victory for Exeter?👀
#TLSvEXE #ChampionsCup #Rugby #EPCR
Dupont casually strolling around in between the try line and 22 for Slades conversion
Surely warrants a retake?🤔
#TLSvEXE #ChampionsCup #Rugby #EPCR
Toulouse will play the rest of the game (65 mins) with 14 men! Crazy stuff from Neti🤦🏼♂️
Well done to Hollie Davidson calling it as it is! No mitigation and no being swayed from the home crowd 🛑
