      Munster also lost the Pro 12 semifinals to the Ospreys :( They'll face Leinster in the final.

      Why did I have to start following them after they're past their best with Leinster taking over?

      I told you who they were like when you asked about the clubs.
      Only problem was Munster invested in star players while the other provinces gave younger
      players opportunities. Coming back to bite Munster hard now, but that doesn't mean their
      finished.

      Good win for Warrington yesterday. 3 cups in four years is that now?

      Ireland:
      Epic first half.
      No points second half.

      Frustrating.

      Wales - overrated as per usual.

      England - scrappy but effective

      Scotland - brave showing but not enough quality

      Ireland - unlucky , great first half.

      I heard Robert Jones say before the game that if most of the players carried their pro 12 form into the game then they would loose. I don't think they lit up the last world cup at all.

      I don't think they are as good as what pundits etc say - they did have a good WC but were very lucky in the 6 Nations. Don't expect them to do as well this season - can see them finishing behind France, England and Ireland.

      Tell me who did then beside the eventual winners ,we were in the form of our lives ,and got fcked by a pedantic ref ,and still should have won that game ,I also thought we would lose on sat ,but that is because i think the players have regressed a bit since last season ,they will bounce back though.

      Do you mean by being the fittest team and playing for the 80 mins thats how they got lucky in the 6 nations ,i too have my doubts this season George but they were by far the best team last season and deserved their win.

      They werent the best team against both England and Ireland - the ref certainly gave them a very nice helping hand. They are a good team with some quality players -Adam Jones is an outstanding scrummager , and Roberts and North are very big weapons. Warburton is a good solid player.

      Dont see it that way George but hey thats opinions for you , Roberts for me is a one trick pony who can easily be nullified ,i like him dont get me wrong but in interntional rugby just battering your way up the middle dosen,t always cut it ,,
       RE  Jonah Lomu 95 world cup biggest and best player on the planet at the time ,but South africa worked him and New Zealand out ,the rest as they say is history.

      Yeah I can see what you mean mate but that battering ram is one hell of a weapon - looking forward to the lions tour to see if him or Tuilagi get the nod alongside BOD

      It is a good weapon but it can easily be negated as has been shown in the past ,you have to have a back up plan ,not so sure BOD will be automatic for the lions next time out mate age time and injuries are against the man, class player in his prime mind you .Reminded me a bit of Mike Gibson.

      Think he is close to be one of the best players to ever come out of Northern Hemisphere rugby.

      The Lions choice will be interesting

      Think the one area we could struggle is the 10 jersey

      Sexton is currently favourite but not sure he is dynamic enough

      I missed the Samoa game Andy, but my mum was practically frothing at the mouth about one challenge when I spoke to her yesterday.  Not good by Wales though, I watched the Argentina game and was like WTF is going on.  A poor autumn so far.
