When I say Leicester are shite, I guess I mean that they’re not winning in Thomond material.

Anyway, without a decent outhalf, any team is done for - and all they’ll have is Paul Burke. They’re nothing now compared to the Martin Johnson era teams.

I agree Foley should’ve played cos he brings good attitude - ahead of O’Driscoll maybe as I thought Leamy was very strong around the ruck.

Also, O’Gara needs to tell the lads outside to cop on and stop trying to impress.

I really thought the established lads were generally OK, but that the two lads at centre and Dowling had complete shockers from the start and that it caught on big time around the team.

Foley is a better captain than paul i feel and should have started instead of a clearly unwell Leamy. Halstead and quinlan were big losses. I think halstead might be out next week again. Perhaps the players are beginning to believe the media hype surrounding them. Flannery cant come back to the full fitness quick enough in my opinion.

They're a serious outfit, and if anybody can threaten Munster at home it has to be them.<br /><br />I agree that we missed Halstead badly and you're right to say there was no go-forward momentum. Also, Leamy was unwell and it showed. We didn't have his (or Halstead's) line-breaking aggression. <br /><br />In my opinion, Frankie wasn't up to it either. His throwing was poor, but he also looked lost with the ball. You'd think he was carrying a bomb the way he handed it to the nearest red shirt. I hope Jerry Flannery is now fully fit and ready to step in at number 2 because Frankie's days are over.<br /><br />I thought Barry Murphy showed his inexperience with some of the crazy passing that went on, but you couldn't point the finger just at him. Even the solid guys like Paul O'Connell were at it.<br /><br />It's just as well this happened yesterday and not next week. Ah now, Brendan, I’m not so sure if Leicester are shite.

There was lots of effort around the ruck, but fuck all momentum outside O’Gara.

Leicester are shite though, so it should all be fine and then el Trev’ll be back and it’ll be medal time again…….
