@arnzzz_ @Ceb EU players are mostly washed/tired and retiring, all the young talent is in CIS...

@ScottGoetz_ It's completely changed in the last 5-8 years. The Guinness quality team are much more on the ball outside of Ireland these days. But if you went to London or New York and ordered a pint of Guinness in a random pub 5 years ago, it would be shit. This is the truth

@el__pollo__loco @Caolan_Scully A southern hemisphere team that has 7 wins in their last 20 games. Caolan has done nothing to you, so newsflash, you are the arsehole.

@DoireSheridan @Murray_Kinsella Lowe has never been contracted by the IRFU. They only decided that he wasn't worth a top up anymore. Leinster would have offered him a contract, he decided it wasn't enough money for him. It's pretty simple actually. As for calling me an imbecile, it just speaks volumes about you

[Matthew Hennessy @thatsplunk]

@DoireSheridan @Murray_Kinsella 😂 The IRFU didn't want to pay for 40% of Lowe's contract, neither did Leinster. Munster are paying 100% of all their contracts bar 3 players. Leinster's wage bill is the most heavily subsided in the country by the IRFU. Get your facts right before claiming bias least...

@CorkGourmetGuy Are you trying to start a side gig of ripping into Munster at every turn?

[Matthew Hennessy @thatsplunk]

@OMG_ITS_NDABA Lad will be 38 for the world cup. There is no fkin way he will play. He can say he wants to all he likes.

@SamTalksRugby7 Beirne has worn the 4 jersey 1 time since RWC2023. 5 jersey 17 times, 6 jersey 5 times, 20 jersy 1 time.

@TomOHanlon17 I would just swap Timoney with VDF. Timoney is far better impact off bench and VDF more of a 60 min ruck hitter to faciliate our attack. Other than that I don't think Loughman will be fit.

[Matthew Hennessy @thatsplunk]

@slatterywill He always kicks badly when dragged into contact too much. He made like 15 tackles and entered a load of rucks. Our 10 shouldn't have to be doing that.

[Matthew Hennessy @thatsplunk]

@dailychelsea4 If Ulster and Stormers get a win of any kind with their game in hand, Munster go from 4th to 7th pretty quickly too.

[Matthew Hennessy @thatsplunk]

@JohnFSilver @MrPitbull07 America is the only country in the world where this is even a thing. I'll just stay out thanks v much.

@_nicognito @KarlBrophy @BoMandeville W&F isn't a territory anymore, hasn't been since 2003.

[Matthew Hennessy @thatsplunk]

@BoMandeville @KarlBrophy @Monsieur_Yog And if they don't have teams of their own, it's because they don't have sufficient/any players.

[Matthew Hennessy @thatsplunk]

@Gurvant @KarlBrophy @Monsieur_Yog @BoMandeville Only Reunion is technically part of France, which I said in a separate reply. Tahiti and NC are collectives. Reunion has its own rugby team too

[Matthew Hennessy @thatsplunk]

@FMC_Rugby He's correctly rated by most. Anyone that sees people saying he is overrated are just falling victim to the algorithm showing them things to be outraged about.

[Matthew Hennessy @thatsplunk]

@KarlBrophy @Monsieur_Yog @BoMandeville French Guiana is in the Northern Hemisphere.

You're welcome

[Matthew Hennessy @thatsplunk]

@KarlBrophy @BoMandeville Incorrect. Mayotte and Reunion have their own rugby teams.

[Matthew Hennessy @thatsplunk]

@brettruganalyst True, but O'Brien causes the mismatch by stepping in on Smith when there were already 3 Irish defenders covering that space. He needed to make up for it.

[Matthew Hennessy @thatsplunk]

@EdFreeman9 @rossmcc_1 @CorkGourmetGuy @IrishRugby Munster's issue in the scrum are on tighthead side and hooker, loosehead is not the issue. Loughman is an excellent player and fully deserves the exposure to the Irish set up. If we hadn't put 74% of active TH minutes into Porter over the last 2 years, he would have more caps imo
