We've beaten the All Blacks twice.

But yes, you're right. We need to kick on in 2019 and show the world 2018 was not a one off year.

Get over it! Zebo knew he was ending his Ireland career when he agreed to go to France. At the time Sexton went to France he was irreplaceable to Ireland. Zebo isn't. We have plenty of back up.
As it is, Zebo would struggle to get in the squad even if he was playing in Ireland. We had the same Zebo whinges during the last 6 nationals, during the summer, the November internationals and now this 6 nations. He's not getting picked. Move on!

Believe you me there is far more hostility towards Leinster fans in munster than the other way round.

Can you please explain your point on how Dublin is an "environment which is hostile to Munster and the Munster ethos"? Also, explain the "munster ethos"?
A munster v Glasgow semi final in Dublin is hardly going to produce a daunting hostile atmosphere. Unlike limerick, Dublin is not a one horse town and there is plenty of other things going on in the city than the match. Also there is probably close on as many munster people living in Dublin as there are living in munster itself.

I understand you point about wanting the match to be played in munster but it shouldn't cost the IRFU money on rent to the GAA. As I said previously munster are pushing the charity appeals to the IRFU too far.

"Why not?" because the IRFU would have to pay a massive rent on the ground to the GAA when they have free access to the Aviva which is an even bigger and better ground.

With the IRFU already paying munster's debt on thomond and cherry picking players from Leinster to help fill the gap munster's inadequate academy can't fill I think the munster have been given enough charity. Still though, what munster want from the IRFU they seem to get so they might as well ask.

The entire discussion is probably pointless as I think Saracen with beat Glasgow and have home advantage.

Bobby, you're argument is spot on. The EPCR is entitled to the majority of money made for a Champions Cup semi final so why would the IRFU pay the GAA to hire a smaller ground when they don't have to pay a penny to use the Aviva. The fact that people are making down you comment just proves they don't understand the details.
Still that's not going to stop the munster moaners who get everything for free from complaining.

The potential semi final can’t be played in thomond. That’s the entire point of the article. Keep up!
As for the GAA, well it’s not like they don’t have form for being exclusive.
