01 Marcus Horan
02 Damien Varley
03 BJ Botha

04 Ian Nagle
05 Dave Foley

06 Dave O'Callaghan
07 Tommy O'Donnell
08 James Coughlan

09 Tomas O'Leary
10 Scott Deasy

12 Tom Gleeson
13 Will Chambers

18 John Ryan

20 Brian O'Hara
21 Duncan Williams
22 Declan Cusack
23 JJ Hanrahan

Thats a team good enough for the Pro 12.

That team is ridiculously strong.

Yea it is Munsty and I would say that only BJ Botha is first choice. Thats a great 2nd string

Coughlan, Horan and Varley might challenge that assertion.

They might but I wouldn't have them starting personally.

In the past there was such a clear distinction between Celtic League and European Cup teams. The lines have blurred a lot recently.

Du Preez, Varley, Botha
O'Driscoll, O'Connell
Leamy, Coughlan, Ronan
Murray, Keatley
Chambers, Barnes
Earls, Jones, Hurley

Horan, Sherry, Archer
O'Callaghan, Nagle
Ryan, O'Mahony, Wallace
O'Leary, O'Gara
Mafi, Gleeson
Zebo, Murphy, Howlett

Subs: Flannery, Hayes, Foley, O'Donnell, Stringer, Cusack, Deasy

Two random enough teams I think in most positions we seem to have 2 players of around same ability. I think its tough to call Munsters best team.

Thanks Munsty. Apart from maybe a few positions its hard to young beyond Munster on paper. Buccs have quite a lot of them dont they

Is that Eoghan Grace the former Munster/Exeter player?

Finished 19 - 3 to munster apparently

Was expecting a bigger win considering the teams, especially the pack
