gr8 1st half guys, what happened in the 2nd - posted missing for lumps of the game. Can see gr8 potential in this team.

The team had been playing with an engine like a Rolls Royce with Chris Cusiter and Dan Parks purring along. With all due respect to the present encumbents the engine at the moment is stuttering like an old Ford Escort. I agree with you russ, great potential,just need some time.

I know not strictly the place for such a request, however does anyone have a spare team sheet from the Connacht game, or a scanned copy, or photocopy they could send me. Arrived late at the game and didn't manage to get one. If so my email address is stevenbrotchie.com.
Many thanks in advance and apologies for posting on this thread.

The email address should have been stevenbrotchie.com

It may be the way the posts are moderated as the tail end of the email address keeps being deleted. My apologies for making a pigs ear of this. If anybody can help me out and find away of me being able to send my contact details I would be most grateful.
Apologies once again.

Yeah we miss Parks and Cusiter - but they're not reason the back row is misfiring - we really miss Kelly and Beattie. Rucking looks really weak and support play not fast and close enough. We were outmuscled once Munster decided that the ref didnt like their play at the breakdown and started playing hard rather than playing illegally. Also missing big Al's leadership.

Dunky is only 19 - and is bound to make mistakes - like the two kicks out on the full that led up to tries - but most if not all of Munster's tries came directly from our mistakes - some from older heads than Weir. If we can iron these things out and give Weir/Jackson and Budgie/Pyrgos a good platform then this team has potential - i think Weir has the look of a really good 10 - huge boot, good distribution and not a weak link in the defensive line.

We are asking a lot of these guys. We had six guys under 21 on the pitch on Friday night - Weir, Gray, Harley, Pyrgos, Wilson and Horne. In normal times if you launch one of these guys into a game & he doesn't look out of his depth you're delighted. Now we're talking about a 19 year old fly half playing 50 minutes against the best team in Europe, scoring a whack of points, and keeping our noses in front for 40 minutes, and people saying he had a 'mixed bag' of a game. Come on! The potential is huge and we should be really excited about it!
Of course we'll miss all the guys that have gone/are injured but most of all in that crucial 10 minutes after HT on Friday I thought we missed Kellock's leadership. When Gregor knocked on in front of the posts from the sloppy pass, there was no one saying 'Keep your head up'. 4 or 5 guys heads went down immediately (to the point it was obvious Munster would score from the scrum) and it took them 10 minutes to get them back up. We need Morrison, Stortoni, Evans, Thomson, Low to provide the kind of stout leadership Kellock does just now and not just play their own game and leave it to Barclay. Also we need to keep Jackson's confidence up. I've noticed every game Dunky Weir has come on as a sub, you know he is on the pitch within 10 seconds, he shouts, gesticulates, orders the people around him as soon as he is on. Rauridh came on on Friday and appeared to say nothing. As if he felt he needed to do something significant before he could start telling others what to do. No, Rauridh we need you to run the backs when you come on. We believe you can! You believe it too!
