@limerickgreen indeed at the time I wrote it, it was 2008, and I would agree with the remarks I made given the evidence available to me. In the mean time, we have won a grand slam (thanks to addressing the rift I mentioned) and hopefully we will see two Irish teams in the HCup final...
Competition is always better for the national side, but I think both Leinster and Munster supporters need to be careful of it going too sour. Opposing fans' relationships are one of the real virtues of the sport
Wow - there's a timely trip down memory lane... though one i'd rather not make. Still, I'd like to think the abject failure to close out a game we should have won (leinster a man down) is a mistake we learned a lot from.
It was also the beginning of the modern version of munster leinster rivalry which has since been taken to a level that has probably damaged the national side considerably.
funny how horgan plays on the wing now and darcy plays in center
