Re: Munster v Edinburgh, 7 September
Its gonna be a funny game I think
I really do think (due to injuries being a big factor) that Burgh will win the forward battle but Munster will win the battle in the backs
It's going to come down to which is the more effective unit!
Burgh will need to try and starve Munster of the ball.

tattie, I'd be v surprised if Embra's backrow get parity at the breakdown, and that seems to decide the result these days

Agree with the second comment Tattie - that is a first choice tight 5 for me and a very good front row if Ford can find his arrows.tigertattie wrote:Nah, I think we have parity in the back row and the edge in the front 5!
As for the loosies, we know Cox is doing good work on the blindside but we don't (or do we, I didn't see the pre-season games?) have any feel for how the ginger midget or Mr Glory Carry will be playing.

It sounds like Denton has started very strongly – back to his rampaging best. He was MOTM last week and Mike Blair singled him out in his BBC column. Seems to be liking the route 1 approach under Solomons unsurprisingly!
Not sure about the ginger midget though – he went off early last week.

well, if you go back far enough, there must be some from of shared parentage! Afterall, the gene that results in ginger hair came about as a genetic mutation!

Re: Munster v Edinburgh, 7 September
I’m sure there was a programme on recently about genetics – not only did humans originate from one person, gingers also originated from one person!
Must have been a fright when the first ginger was born….!

Bizarrely I've just discovered that Scotland's oldest soaperie is based in Kirkintilloch, almost Glasgow
http://caurnie.com/epages/950000822.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/950000822/Categories/About_us-stro
It's very small though. I'm not sure they've targeted the right area of Scotland.

From Wiki: "Red hair appears in people with two copies of a recessive gene on chromosome 16 which causes a mutation in the MC1R protein." Ergo, all gingers should be on X-Men.tigertattie wrote:well, if you go back far enough, there must be some from of shared parentage!

Where did you hear that? Ford moving to tighthead or LH?
Big call if it's true moving a B&I Lion hooker to prop to accommodate McInally....

Re: Munster v Edinburgh, 7 September
weird! Hope it works if true. Scotland will have a very mobile pack. Are the SRU being very inteligent for a change? New scrum laws mean scrums are not as physical anymore really, which means perhaps the new front rower/hookers need to be mobile units, essentiually backrowers on the front row? Total speculaction/thinking out loud
Looking forward to seeing how Edinburgh do tomorrow night. Notably, Roddy Grant, van der.. Saffa 2nd row, Kennedy, Atiga, NDL, Denton, Nel.. the whole team I guess haha.
Expecting them to lose, but if they can at the very least play well and lose I'll be happy.

Re: Munster v Edinburgh, 7 September
I dimly recall there was some chat about this at the last World Cup. I will try and find the article because there were actually sensible reasons for it. I presume it would be a move to LH although I think if you lose Murray and Welsh we have more problems on the TH side.RDW_Scotland wrote:Where did you hear that? Ford moving to tighthead or LH?

Re: Munster v Edinburgh, 7 September
Not surprised at Ross Ford moving sideways, Tom Youngs has been moaning about the new scrum laws. Apparently hookers will be required to lift one foot off the floor in order to "hook" the ball and Mr Youngs thinks this could be quite a dangerous thing to do in a scrum, during a rugby match. [b]I'm not making this up[b]
Obviously for people who have just pushed for years the actual hooking part will be a shock. So why not stick at what you are good at become a prop?

Re: Munster v Edinburgh, 7 September
Looking forward to his game, was just thinking we (edinburgh) have a lot of average second rows then I went on the website to find we have 31 forwards in the squad. Bit ridiculous do you not think ? I could understand 20 or so but most of these guys won't even play yet edinburgh will pay them a lot.
don't think Munster will be great but. I predict another poor season for edinburgh this year

Getting 'nilled' in the Heineken really was an absolute disgrace and the very memory of that should push this Edinburgh side along.GLove39 wrote:Not got a good feeling about tonight...

Really depends which Munster turns up - the ferocious Heineken Cup semi-finalists or the slightly disinterested looking side that plonked themselves into 6th in the Rabo table.

Why do Munster still play here? Nobody goes to the feckin games.
Its funny because they were actually talking about upgrading the stadium.

Edinburgh just won a scrum penalty.
That's it, I'm finally having the operation and calling myself 'Sandrine'. It is the end of days.

As it stands, Edinburgh will be doing well if they can deny Munster the BP in the 2nd half. Munster getting over the gain line far too easily, not helped by edinburgh's yellow card

Munster looking a lot more comfortable moving the ball, much better hands and skills than last year. Very heartening for Penney.
