    Crazy to think Munster now play the most attractive brand of rugby on the island. And it's all because the saffa coach left.

      Most attractive? You must be joking. At least the saffa coach took bath to the premiership final and you could not make the final of the URC. Very attractive semi final though😂😂😂

    This channel has always got something bad to say about South African rugby .The reason there rugby is not attacking is the flyhalf is not great and both centers are also not game breakers . No use having a good pack of forwards and a great scrumhalf .

    O’Connor talks about Leinster like the team turned him down for the debs……
    Leinster have 3 finals in a row, multiples since the first win.
    Compete at league level year in year our. A conveyor belt in each position.
    It takes time to get over a section esque player. Gone away from Leinster dna? Did he miss the La Rochelle game ? Did he miss the opening 40 in the semi? Bringing in Tyler for next yeR also

      You will agree with me Michael that you have different styles of football but somehow when we come to rugby, so called experts and commentators want us to play the same style. There is a place for different styles. The way we play, suit us as people and how we approach the game.

      @@user-pr2pt5vm1j Yeah RWC is special because you only get a chance to compete at it every four years. Winning it once is a huge achievement, back to back even more so. It just is strange that they weren't able to replicate that success at the Rugby Championship more in between. Especially in 2022 when NZ had a very challenging year losing to Argentina etc.

      Don't be so sensitive, the thrust of the discussion isn't about sa rugby, it's about what's right for leinster. The fact that there is style of SA rugby, which is creeping into leinster, just informs the core discussion, I would say there is no explict judgement of SA in that.
      If your looking for implicit judgement of the sa style you'll find it. Its all too easy to manufacture reasons to take offense, thats the case in all public forums these days.
