Munster Nucifora's Pet Province? - Page 4 Empty Munster Nucifora's Pet Province?

First topic message reminder :

I think it was another reporter in the same paper said that Nucifora may be taking Munster on as a sort of personal project, getting Erasmus (his man) in and getting them on the right path again, it can be taken with a pinch of salt but reading more

http://www.independent.ie/sport/rugby/munster-rugby/ruaidhri-oconnor-ben-smith-capture-would-catapult-munster-back-to-the-top-table-35307339.html

"Talk of Ben Smith joining Munster...... the province may have sought outside help to bring Smith in. IRFU performance director Nucifora has spoken of his willingness to get private investors involved."

"Erasmus is working hard to increase his options next season, with Irish-qualified trio Chris Farrell, JJ Hanrahan and James Hart on the way, while Munster are likely to be allowed retain one of Jaco Taute or Francis Saili."

"Rhys Marshall, a project player from New Zealand, has already joined and uncapped South African prop Oliver Kebble has been linked with a move."

Munster couldn't afford their stadium repayments last year and are now in talks with Smith?

How much of this is true?

How much is down to Munster, and how much Nucifora?

How can Munster get Hart to be behind Murray, and have Pienaar leave Ulster? (why is Nucifora not making this an Ulster move to replace Pienaar)
Allowed an NIQ center forever and add a NIQ fullback, yet they have not produced any centers and have to relay on former Ulster ones Farrell, and Arnold?

If any of this is true fair play to Munster, but if its true and Nucifora is involved I wouldn't be as happy.
How can Nucifora push through all this for Munster who have limited finances, yet can't assit in moving some backrows to Ulster?

Don't know. But I doubt if ROG would offload someone completely useless to Munster.

Anyone know what Chris Farrell is like - is he more Jamie Roberts or Robbie Henshaw?

Surprised to see Farrell sign for Munster. There havent been too many Ulster lads over the years willing to play for other provinces.

Niall O'Connor and Willie Faloon the only others I can think of. Any others?

Munster also have Sam Arnold and Sean Duigan had been in Ulster Academy - mind you, both of those came through the Exiles.

Timmy Ryan I think spent a season in Ulster (but there are few clubs left he hasn't played for) Very Happy

He's neither a Roberts or Henshaw, more of a McCloskey.

Top home attendances for Champs Cup this season.

 1.  Munster Rugby 77,400
 2.  Leinster Rugby 70,059
 3.  Bordeaux Bègles 63,399

The benefits of having a winning team playing in its own 26,200 stadium.

For comparison to last year

17,763 V Benetton Treviso
22,261 v Leicester Tigers
18,884 V Stade Français

Total 58908

In fairness, Benetton Treviso were not that big a draw, but against Stade Français is a little disappointing, maybe due to losing at home to Tigers. Munster were still getting decent crowds when not in the best of form, but winning teams do pull in the bigger crowds, thats just sport.

Great to see Thomand packed again.

Remembered Porter afterwards but didn't want to remind anyone of McComish, we don't want Connacht holding that against us

Though did he come through the academy?

"He's 6' 5", I promise you"

What does Ronan mean by that line? Did he think Munster might first take out a tape measure due to lack of belief that the player was the height he claimed to be?

Looks like naming rights for Thomond Park are up for sale again.

http://www.independent.ie/business/irish/munsters-hunt-for-naming-rights-deal-ramps-up-35404929.html

Note this paragraph:

The province has been in the news in recent times about its debt situation. Fitzgerald says Munster's commitments have recently been restructured, saying that happened "predominantly because of the economic situation and the recession and how it affected our income". Ticket sales had become sluggish but have now started to improve in tandem with the province's fortunes on the pitch.

"We spent in excess of €40m on Thomond Park and there's just over €9m now owed on it ten years later, which is a really positive position. We restructured the debt recently and we're meeting all our commitments on the restructured agreement as we stand at the moment," Fitzgerald said. "The naming rights is part of the commercial programme . . . if the naming rights never happened we're still meeting our restructured commitments." Fitzgerald said.

Farrell isn't as good as McCloskey - it's the top 2 inches and nothing to do with height.

As far as I'm aware, Farrell is a different sort of player from McCloskey. He is more of a rangy runner, with a lanky sort of build. Almost built like a Tom Croft and he prefers playing at 13 where he gets more space in the wider channels. 

He made Henshaw look average last season when they came head to head. Quite easily put him on his bum at one stage.

I like Farrell. I think he still has a good shot at further honours.

Munster sign veteran Springbok lock to cover Foley and Kleyn absences

http://www.the42.ie/munster-sign-jean-deysel-3291157-Mar2017/

Thats 8 NIQ until the end of the season,

Ulster with 6, will Ulster be allowed a NIQ joker for Coetzee this time?

I have nothing against Munster signing a medical joker, but to be allowed 3 NIQ locks, and to keep another medical joker until the end of the season if does appear Munster are being favoured by Nucifora/IRFU

It certainly helps Munster in their European push and I'm glad for it, a good run by them in European benefits us all, and I hope Munster and Leinster do well. Its just that the rules do not appear to being applied to all the provinces consistently.

This isn't Munsters fault, they applied for a NIQ joker just the same as any other province would, but were others are being declined Munster seam to be given more leeway.

He is back training, but word is he will not play again for Munster. Family are on their way back to Australia.

So he's training with them, they are paying him but have no intention of playing him and sign another player to cover and the IRFU sign off on it?

picard

No wonder their finances are a mess

He has a 2 year contract which is up at the end of this season, so its up to Munster to look after him (including getting him back to full fitness).

They have a player who can do the job yet are allowed to sign someone else to do it, it's pretty poor form

God forbid though that Munster had to find someone IQ or a young guy in the academy who could be a backup

Munster are still involved in the B&I Cup.

What about John Madigan, Sean McCarthy, Darren O'Shea, or the academy Sean O'Connor, Fineen Wycherley

John Madigan, Darren O'Shea have a B&I Cup semi final on 1/2 April (same weekend as Champs Cup QF v Toulouse.

Sean McCarthy (knee) and Sean O'Connor (ankle) injuries.

Wycherly should be available for B&I Cup.

So Munster need the medical joker as they only have Donnacha Ryan, Billy Holland , Gavin Coombs, Evan Mintern, Dave O'Callaghan, John Madigan, Darren O'Shea and Fineen Wycherley available to cover lock?

The few (3) B&I Cup games Gavin Coombes has played have been in the backrow. Evan Mintern isn't even in the Munster Academy yet. Dave O'Callaghan is a backrower, John Madigan & Darren O'Shea are needed for B&I Cup and possibly Wycherley to sub.

Munster are playing Toulouse in QF - it would be possitively dangerous to let those young lads play in that game - they are just not conditioned to play against a Champs Cup pack.

Copeland played once for Cardiff and once for Munster at lock - both in the Pro12 games.

Munster is still in the Champs Cup, B&I Cup and on track for a playoff place in the Pro12. Apart from the chances are of an injury to Ryan or Holland, it would be financial suicide (for Munster & IRFU) not to try and make the finals of these three competitions.
