    Thumbs up excellent

    Absolutely cracking draw....totally eliminates any chance of us playing English opposition at Twickenham should we get to the final.Seeing as the other semi will probably be between Toulouse and Llanelli, then I predict a Munster Heineken Cup victory at long last...with Christy Cullen and Seamus Williams doing some serious damage along the way!!

    It was heartbreak in the two lost finals.
    The crowd in Twickenham was fantastic.
    Even though Northampton Saints had only to travel a few miles Munster out numbered them and completely out sung them.
    The craic in The Stoop before hand was mighty.

    That Semi will have to played in lansdowne (unless the GAA let the use one of their grounds)

    ERC rules say that grounds for the Semi have to hold a minumum of 20,000

    Hows about temporary seating?
    They played a World Cup game at Thomond before with about 20,,000 there...

    The game has to be at a 'neutral' venue so it can't be at one of their designated 'home' grounds which would be Thomond and Musgrave.
    We're not arrogant, we're just better.

    And also 50 miles from their "home" ground I think...
    If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.

    Didn't take long for this thread to spring up, now did it? I was in Stats class 2 hours ago when the brother texted me the draw. Nearly let some roar. Great to get a home semi. Lansdowne should be jammers with a cracking atmosphere if we make it.
    Agree with the sentiment, bout time some luck came our way.

    Aint revenge sweet?!

    Nice draw for Munster. I think they get fired up more for the Games against English opposition.

    They have to be very short odds to make the final now with essentially 2 home draws. Would predict big crowd if semi in Landsdowne.

    Be a full house in Lansdowne no doubt about it. I'd be confident about making the Final, but not overly so. The two teams we have to beat are the two most likely to win it other than ourselves. Btw, I've got a spare ticket for the Stade Francais match.

    1/4 Final 10/11 April i think.

    As long as game played in Ireland RTE will have the rights i presume.

    After criticising Skys rugby commentary the previous week then realised how truelly dire Jim Sheridan is on RTE.
