@Aidan Farrell: Dont follow him on Instagram – simple.

@JoeVlogs: what a crock of s56t based on absolutely no evidence whatsoever, but let’s pivot the story to POM and it being his fault. You literally have no idea why he was pushed or jumped but speak with authority.

@Aidan Farrell: it was hardly just O’Mahony though? Dude is 35 and his contract is up at the end of the season, troubling times indeed if he’s wielding that much influence.

@Aidan Farrell: but Sam cane is a shite Richie McCaw!!

@Aidan Farrell: Lads did POM steal your pocket money or what? I’ve seen more hot air in these comments that you would see out of porters bottom in a scrum on a winters evening!

@Aidan Farrell: He has a lovely garden, he’s right to show it off. And let the man have a few celebratory beers after winning a grand slam!! Goodness me.

@Aidan Farrell: plenty of other player were at Ringrose’s house but being the tool you are, single one player out.

@JoeVlogs: POM stepped down from the captaincy a year ago after a decade as captain, likely because he knew he was going to retire and to allow for a transition in the club. Additionally, he was asked to captain Ireland. A lot to do both. Wild to me that people are trying to blame POM for this.

@JoeVlogs: I think you are giving POM way too much credit there. I don’t believe for a second he has that much influence that at 35 he could be the reason a URC winning coach would get the bullet. Bearing in mind the quality of the squad he managed to win that title with.

@Brenda Collins: And he is not the first player to give up provincial captaincy to take on the Irish captains role. Rory Best did the same as far as I remember. BOD tried to do both for too long and his form suffered. He relinquished the Leinster captain role to Leo Cullen in 2008/09 (I think) after a period of decline and his career took off again.

@JoeVlogs: lad you could just say you are jealous of POM and his achievements. Rather than speculating about speculation.

@JoeVlogs: the opening 3 posts by anti-munster troll who have no idea what happens in the Munster camp. If you really think all that happened, you must think Rowntree is very weak that he deal with it.

@Aidan Farrell: Happy to be the bearer of bad news Aidan, you have no friends and no one likes you in real life, you sad sap troll.

@JoeVlogs: oh look, the Connacht clown talking out his hole…… again.

@Cian O: I have reported your abusive comments to the admin team so I hope you are banned for your bullying behaviour.

@JoeVlogs: lot of laying the blame with PoM, if it was contract negotiations, GR would have little influence on those, as they are done though IRFU and Munster CEO. Any falling out from that would have been resolved long ago, GR may well have lost the dressing room, there were no signs of it last season or over the summer though. I thinkbits more likely IRFU/Munster were concerned with results and maybe grumblings from senior players and or coaches and called a meeting with GR to clear the air. GR prob said current squad can’t challage for URC and last 8 in HCup without adequate replacements for Snyman and Frisch and new FR. IRFU said no NIQs and can shop for IQ in championship, GR most likily said thats impossiblewith those restrictions, IRFU disagreed and they agreed to part ways.

@Kingshu: This is the story direct from Munster fans’ forum, and the fact POM stepped down during contract negotiations, but after the season had started, leaving the club in the lurch, would indicate it wasnt a planned hand over. Then Rowntree had to publicly come out saying there wasn’t a fight over POM’s contract, albeit he didn’t quite dispel the rumour, just said “he didn’t raise his voice”. I find it unlikely that on Tuesday Rowntree walks out of the job, after having said at the weekend how he was prepping for the next few games. He is too proud and honourable to quit when the going gets tough.

@Kingshu: As good a hypothesis as any.

@Will condon: aidan Darrell is the latest negative goon that is probably just a dummy account for a previous negative goon. Wouldn’t pay much heed to him.

@JoeVlogs: yeah but all the PoM stuff was last season. Why would it raise its head again now. I dont doubt GR was planning on the next game and had no intentions of waking away. So what changed in the week that IRFU/Munster arranged a meeting?

@Kingshu: I think you may be on the money there ..you could see GR post match after the sharks game admitting in frustration it seemed certain areas his teams woes , ie ravaged by injuries , competing with powerful packs , having academy props on against that sharks front row, not taking opportunities . he comes across a s very passionate rugby man who wanted to take Munster to glory but he’s had his arm tied behind his back in certain ways with the players he’s lost /positions he’s not able to fill/ injuries etc ..I find it hard to believe a player revolt. He seems a right man manager.

@Aidan Farrell: what he said about Sam was true ..he is a sh!t£ Ritchie McCaw and they all blacks are renowned for their sledging…I would have thought you’d be proud of him standing up to them and not taking their s#!t. But then you’re a troll like Ray Ridge that spouts negative crap all the time for attention. I have never seen any of your comments show any bit of positivity. I’d say you’re great craic to be around :D

@Aidan Farrell: the only bulky around here is you attacking anyone that calls out your trolling

@Stuart: Fair. I just find it very surprising he would give up on Munster, as someone who was passionate about the province – literally had a tattoo of the stag. I also would find it strange the run of performances would have made IRFU/Munster pull the plug – he had a contract extension recent enough, no real public cry for his head, was reigning coach of the year and seemed committed to getting things back on track. If he felt his hands were tied behind his back, I could see him doing a Pat Lam – pointing this out, signing for a new club for the following season, but finishing up the current one. All the news reports indicate he was pushed as opposed to jumped, and when there was no reason from IRFU/Munster to push him, that leaves the other coaches and players as the alternatives.

@JoeVlogs: yes absolutely , I find all of this strange I dont even support Munster but have seen what GR has done at that club during his URC tenure and he comes across as very passionate rugby man (Munster tattoo says it all). Hopefully this all comes out in the wash soon weather he left on his own accord or was pushed , I do feel for Munster supporters , this is very confusing and doesn’t make sense with the information that has been released so far ..kinda casts a shadow over the Allblacks game this weekend and going forward I guess until more in know.

@Stuart: I find it hard to belive in aplauer revolt either esp having finished top last season, players have to concede coaches know what they are doing. Part of me does wonder if the IRFU wanted Felix Jones at Munster and are using the poor run of results now to remove GR, as they may not be able to remove him later, if results improve (which they should)

@JoeVlogs: direct from the munster fans forum….must be true so

@JoeVlogs: I enjoy trolling Munster from time to time but even I struggle to see POM throwing his toys out of the pram with GR

@Brenda Collins: I don’t know why you would even entertain him with a reply.
It’s just gossip trash as usual with with nothing behind it only his imagination. Nothing new on him singling out a 106 time international for abuse, no doubt the boot will be stuck into him again a few more times before Pete retires.
Really is kinda sad this need for attention

@Aidan Farrell: you’re the only one who needs banning and everyone agrees, sad case.

@Brenda Collins: oh stop talking sense !

@Patrick O’Sullivan: very true.

@Gary Galligan: Munster acess mate few euros i think

@Gary Galligan: why- this only an exhibition. To be fair RTE and TG4 broadcast plenty of rugby. Much wants more it seems

@Shawn: I cant use access munster anyway sign on made an account but not working

@JJB: historical
