Morning Ladies and Gents,
As the name suggests a Munster fan living in Nottingham. I spent much of the noughties living in Bristol and remember your clashes with them fondly (was at The Mem the night you won promotion!)
I unfortunately can no longer attend tomorrow and thus have an adult for the East Terrace Central going un-used, if anyone is interested? Ideally would like to recoup the £38 I paid, but happy to come to an arrangement if it helps someone out/stops the ticket going to waste.
Feel free to PM to discuss.

Looking forward to this one always great to go up against one of the big spending clubs in Europe with a massive squad. Should be a great day, lots of away support. We are playing a great brand of attacking rugby and I’ll take us to just shade it. Chiefs 33 Munster 25.
Two strong teams, hopefully the home advantage will see us through, but I expect a close game.

This should be a cracking match - I’m really looking forward to it.

We're going to have to look after the ball well with Beirne around.
This is gonna be a tough game.

By the way - cream on first. There's nothing to debate.

I watched Munster play Glasgow a few weeks back and I thought Munster were quite poor, nowhere near the level of the side we faced a few years ago. It was at the start of the six nations so both sides were missing some players, bearing in mind the Scotland team is Glasgow plus a few, it affected them much more and they won. I only say that because I don't feel it will be as close as some of you. Chiefs 35 Munster 17
Now watch a Titanic battle and me looking proper stupid!!!

Some of the Munster players were involved in a close defeat in South Africa last weekend so am going to be optimistic. We will need to contain their halfbacks and of course their skipper Taghg Beirne but the conditions look good for running rugby so going for a high scoring game Chiefs 38 Munster 27.
Chiefs 31 - 17 Munster
