Haven't posted here in a long time, but I don't think I'll be renewing my season ticket as long as this appointment stands. There are some things a club shouldn't expect its fans to defend, and this appointment is one of them.
Munster Rugby are pleased to confirm that Roger Randle has been appointed as the provinceβs new Attack Coach on a two-year contract π
Roger will take up his role in July on completion of the 2026 Super Rugby season.

Class. After 10 years of waiting, the Dread Wolf rises! From what I've gathered from reviews, while not perfect, it hits all the notes I want from a DA game. It'll take time to start it (despite pre-ordering), as I've BG3 and the first three games to finish, but so excited.
In terms of replacements, not a lot of top coaches currently available that would fit. Think Humphreys will go Irish to keep it cheap. Maybe guys like Felix Jones or Simon Easterby in terms of next season. In terms of the rest of the season, I'd be tempted to promote Prendergast.
This seems baffling on the surface. Something behind the scenes at Munster/IRFU level you'd think. Results haven't been great recently, but it's early days in a season where the IRFU have cut plenty of the budget. Other members of the coaching staff seemed clearer choices to go.
Munster Rugby and the IRFU today confirm the departure of Graham Rowntree as Head Coach by mutual agreement.
We thank Graham for his passion & dedication to Munster Rugby over the past 5 years & wish him and his family the very best for the future.

We're practically underwater here, and there's been yet more injuries. But Munster managing the kicking battle well so far, hopefully it can be maintained when playing into the wind in the 2nd half. #MUNvOSP
Slack defence, godawful handling and a nightmare at the lineout. Munster dangerous when they get going, but they've been off it so much thus far. Drastic improvement needed in the second half. #MUNvCON
I'd have an easier time believing Humphreys about positions in provincial depth charts affecting Irish ones, if Farrell hadn't spent most of his time in charge not caring about what goes on at the provinces. Seems a lot like what's come before, no real vision for the provinces.
Match is still winnable. Munster able to generate pressure in attack, the bench is still to come, and there's still time on the yellow. However, the handling errors, blown set pieces and red zone inaccuracy have been costly. #MUNvGLA
There are plenty out there in both politics and the media who have courted those who've left Rhasidat Adeleke rattled by online abuse after what should be the greatest week of her life. They should be utterly ashamed.
Nash a rough blow, though Nankivell back is a massive boost. Some ballsy selection calls, with no recognised 10 cover an eye catching one. Eager to load up the bench once more. Got to deny Glasgow those penalty/maul opportunities. Gonna be a tough one for sure.

I'm sure it helps get Easterby ready to take over (and helps Leinster get minutes into their downchart players), but this stuff really cuts the provinces (bar Leinster) off at the knees. Think it's pretty poorly timed, and isn't the development tool the IRFU think it is.

I'm on board. Lot of stuff we're yet to see that will play a big role in how the game shakes out. But this looks prettier, and less janky, than what you'd have seen before from Bioware. Has the feel you'd want from a game like this, and the returning characters are great to see.

Looks really good in that snippet, let's hope we've plenty more to get us excited about tomorrow. Crazy that this is the first gameplay they've shown. The hype is growing.

#MUNvGLA#SUAF π΄
Munster make the semis, Limerick win Munster, Baldur's Gate 3 physical arrived and a Fall release window for Dragon Age. Election results not great (as ever), but otherwise a fantastic weekend.
That finishes it you would think. Scoreline flattering Leinster, they're very basic in attack. But the ball just not going to hand consistently enough for Ulster, and the injuries are really starting to tell on their pack. #LEIvULS
Happy enough with that. Lot of inefficiencies in the 22, will have to work on that. Ospreys sticky as they've been all season, but Munster on top on both sides of the ball for large parts of the match. Levels go up again next week, bring it on. #MUNvOSP
Soft try to concede early on, Nicky Smith a menace as predicted. Attack looking good when in the zone however, and with the weather worsening and the bench depleted, it was vital to go in two scores up. #MUNvOSP
Voted now, hopefully we'll see a positive outcome. As a Limerick person, we've a real chance to change things for the better, it's time to #VoteLeftTransferLeft.
