🧵Munster lost the kicking battle early giving away scrums, pens and territory. Munster expected Bulls to go hard and narrow early but they went wide early and exploited the space. Munster battled back well after conceding the two early tries.
🧵I would expect some clarity on the coaching situation in the next few weeks with some interesting historical connections amongst the incoming coaches. I also expect more announcements on incoming player(s).
🧵 One of the few positives today was Nankivell. Himself and McCloskey are the best centres in Ireland and it's not even close. Munster need to now focus on next season and investing in youth. Guys like BOC, EOC, both Edogbo's Wood, Foy, etc.
Munster just making far too many simple errors. They are allowing Bulls to score with ease. Munster having to work hard to score. Scrum is a liability, Munster own feed is ok but Bulls put in is a guaranteed pen. Bulls very good with their game plan.
🚨 Massive blow for the Bulls!
Wilco Louw ruled out due to illness (bronchitis).
Francois Klopper starts versus Munster with Mornay Smith moving on to the bench. #URC#BULvMUN
In the last 6 years Lowe has averaged 9 games a season for Leinster and 8 games for Ireland.
In total 54 games for Leinster and 47 games for Ireland/Lions
Lowe leaving Leinster is going to be a massive political battle within the IRFU. Leo is basically saying fuck you to Humphreys.
Munster in a similar situation covered the salary of the Ireland captain and back up 9 from their own budget.
