MUNSTER DEFINE THEMSELVES by how they perform in Europe.
And European Rugby was made all the richer for the marches of the Red Army to England’s heartlands, every corner of France and, technically, into Spain too.
Though they were not the first Irish side to claim European glory and their trophy haul was eclipsed by Leinster, their presence in the latter stages of the Heineken or Champions Cup has been remarkably consistent if not quite constant.
Since 2000, Munster have advanced to the semi-final stages 14 times. Unfortunately, half of those visits have come since they last lifted the trophy in 2008, but how much do you remember of the good times, the agonising moments and ecstatic culminations?





























And yet Alan/Marcus, while you sat in your bedroom writing that drivel in mammy’s house,that, by the way she’s waiting to convert into a guest room, Pogba was probably sitting in the toilet of his personal jet on the way to France and wiping his arse with £50 notes…not knowing who you or I are and quite content that your opinion of him will just wither away into empty space.
@An Observer2: wiping his arse with 50s? Sure that’s nothing special in premier league circles, even wba reject Liam Ridgewell was doing that a few years back
They don’t make players like this man anymore(Frankie). That’s what’s wrong with today’s game. Too many egos
