John Ryan & Niall Scannell access Munster podcast

I found myself laughing aloud to some of the stories, the references to BJ Botha and other Munster stalwarts were great.

I have already listened to it twice over two Munster legends retelling the journey from their point of view highly recommend listening.

Munster academy intake 26/27

I feel like I can finally let go of a breath I’ve been holding over nerves about Chris Barrett getting poached by the Leinster academy.

James Lowe Japan / Johnny Sexton France

Sexton went to racing he was still selected for Ireland, unlike the RFU which have a binding agreement with prem rugby to only pick domestic players the IRFU can play the rules any way they please.

Is there a scenario where because it is a World Cup and Farrell wants James Lowe in the squad just to keep his options open he selects him anyway?

I wouldn’t have a problem with it Lowe gets his payday and Ireland can utilise him for the World Cup seems like the obvious decision.

Access Munster - Lions at home

Really enjoyed this episode Casey reminds me of POM with his pre game talk love how he singles out the individual players it’s a real comparison when you see Beirne at the end he’s just not as inspiring when he talks.

Could see Casey as club captain in the future famously Pete got it while still playing with Paulie to let him focus on Ireland a similar situation with Casey and Beirne maybe?

Really enjoy the behind the scenes stuff.

2026 academy intake who to watch

https://www.reddit.com/r/MunsterRugby/s/7W4XfaNKqD

Last years intake and discussion regarding.

Even off the top of my head you’d be thinking all of Conway, Foley, Barrett, O’Leary, O’Shea, Carney should be getting in.

I’m not based in Munster so I’m sure there’s a few I’m missing that we need to get in?

Would like to see some Kerry representation other than JJ after Jack Daly was released and has moved to the western force

Connacht - Last time around on

We fielded a fairly mixed side last time around which I’d forgotten, Sam Gilbert and Bundee are two that will start on Saturday that we haven’t faced.

Treacy and Forde are both out with Heffernan touch and go.

Our full strength side should be a much tougher proposition for them.

Casey Crowley Edogbo Ahern Kendellen all difference makers for me really interested to see the team we put out.

Who do we want to see for the Connacht game and what kind of bench split would you expect? I have a few thoughts below.

Dan Kelly to start with Farrell out (fairly obvious)

Alalatoa to start Ryan on the bench if Jager is out.

Ben O’Connor to the wing with Smith, I think Dalys best position is fullback and would leave him there

I can see Sean O’Brien come onto the bench to cover centre/wing

Is there a place for a 5-3 with JJ on the bench, I imagine Crowley plays 80 if fit so would that be a waste?

I don’t have faith in Abraham’s or Kilgallen in a game of this importance given the form showed this season.

Thoughts welcome
