Munster v Sale

Hi Skyhawk

Browner said it all with his post. You couldn't fail to admire what Munster did on Saturday.

It was a wonderful display and, with the Leinster result on Sunday, has been a much-needed shot in the arm for Irish rugby. Hopefully we can now put the disappointment of the autumn and the Lions behind us and see some of this form reproduced at international level.

You're welcome, I think it's safe to say the Ulstermen (and women) are behind all three provinces.

I think the game has to go to Lansdowne - the money that can be generated shouldn't be thrown away. And as many people should be able to see it as possible. And we all remember the Wasps game, you can make as much noise at Lansdowne as anywhere else. But it's slightly worrying that Perpignan have won an HEC game at Lansdowne before..

You have summed up the arguments nicely, my concern is the fact that USAP have already played twice in LR. On the other hand, I know that the atmosphere generated by Munster will be far more intimidating than that of the Leinster V USAP game (no offence to Leinster).

having watched the munster game on tv on saturday & having always wanted to go to Thomond Park - if theyre were more tickets available i think it would be better kept in TP - however if its shifted to LR & thyeres a chance of more of us getting tickets & being able to go watch then im all for that

George Hook was campaigning the other day for it to be moved to Croke Park - we could all go then

but Hook is a numpty

Hook the rugby pundit always reminds me of a pantomime dame.

He has a drive-time radio show on Newstalk 106 (The Right Hook, geddit?) which is actually quite good. Like Eamon Dunphy, he comes across much better on radio than TV.

he certainly has the face for radio

i still have my George Hook face on a stick from the autumn games - might bring that down again for a laugh - see if anyone hits me
