There were hoped to be 2 each from Cork and Waterford but they werent interested.

It says confirmed Munster XI squad so possibly a few more to be added. Also according to Niall Quinn, Bruce will be bringing over his A Squad with players like Bent, Richardson, Zenden, Gordon, Kenwyne Jones and Andy Reid as they consider it a proper friendly in their preperation for the season ahead.

anyone know what kind of crowd is expected tonight?? i say no were near half full just a guess i hope im wrong great cause

[Jofspring]

I can see there being a decent crowd, but due to the size of the ground it is going to look like a very poor attendance. 7,000 or 8,000 maybe. I hope its more so people can see Limerick....sorry Munster, stuffing Sunderland 3 or 4 nil :cool:

Game delayed 15min due to large crowd outside the ground,anyone know the actual attendance?

2-1 Sunderland. Tierney scored. Poor crowd and poor game i'm told...

But dont quote me on either...I just got a drunken report.

[Jofspring]

Munster played well in the first half, O'Flynn, Tierney and O'Leary really stood out. Tierney scored a lovely goal from outside the box. Second half both teams made a rake of subs and Sunderland took over from there and had a few chances. Scored one from open play and a free kick. Tracey was unlucky not to score a free soon after. Basically a good first half when Munster had a strong team out but went dead then after that when both teams made a load of subs. I'd say i wasn't too far off with my estimation of the crowd above. Stadium was way too big for this event.

Thought he did very well myself. Always pretty solid anyway.
