Analysing Munster and Irish Rugby.
I've done a podcast on Access Munster — cleverly named the Access Munster Podcast — with Jean Kleyn. Sign up at accessmunster.ie
Munster have named their team for this weekend's massive game against the Bulls
James O'Leary putting bodies on the ground for the 20s on Sunday. A really good campaign from him overall.
I do expect professional journalists not to fawn, though. Owen Doyle wrote this about another grown man yesterday.
THE GREEN EYE #298 :: Wales (h) The last two weeks have been something like a fever dream. The win against England has almost, but not quite, erased the previous two games from memory. Now we face a Welsh team much better than they might seem. www.patreon.com/posts/green-...

SUPER DELUXE WALLY RATINGS #332 :: England 21 Ireland 42 There was a lot on the line for Ireland. Six Nations points, obviously. A Triple Crown starter? Yes. But, more importantly, we had vibes on the line. Where are we going as a rugby nation? Is the party over? www.patreon.com/posts/super-...

This is what gets lost in this ongoing discourse, especially as Farrell reignited it on Saturday: the role of the media in it. This segment was written by Tony Ward after Ireland almost lost to Wales last year. But he was far from the only one to go big on Prendergast off very little evidence.
I just did a quick trawl of the sewer. Majority are not based on Ireland and every single one I saw showed evidence of a proxy being used to spoof an Irish IP. Recognize what this is, as well as seeing our own scumbags for what they are.
Listen to the reaction there. Real Irish people, cheering on the debut of another real Irish man. Don't pay too much attention to what anonymous blue tick accounts based in Tel Aviv, Bangladesh, or the US think.

A long read on how Ireland got to this point, why we look like malfunctioning robots and why the new rugby looks so far out of our natural game. www.patreon.com/posts/150197...
On Ireland's defensive system here — as Murray was saying on the Virgin coverage — it seems to me to be asking a lot of both O'Brien and Prendergast to be successful if this is the scheme with O'Brien trying to close in 8m diagonally, leaving Prendergast 12m to close down Bielle-Biarrey.

Deep in their hearts, Paddy and Joe know where they really belong.
