You cannot be serious, Reggie

REGGIE, what game were you watching? Corrigan’s selection of Clermont centre Marius Jobert as man of the match at Thomond Park certainly got the former Leinster prop into a pot of boiling water yesterday.

What about Shaun Payne, 36 in January, but scorer of the first Munster try and as solid as ever in every respect even though he is in semi-retirement and is officially the Munster manager.

Or Ronan O’Gara, who has put his World Cup form behind him and ran the show yesterday; Peter Stringer, back to near his best and typically unflinching in dealing with players twice his size? As for the quality of his pass, enough said.

Or John Hayes, who scrummaged superbly against an old friend from the Georgian World Cup game and whose rock-like tacking around the fringes was enormous? Mick O’Driscoll, Paul O’Connell’s so called stand-in, is playing the rugby of his life; and Alan Quinlan continues to make a mockery of the fact that he never as much as sat on the bench at the World Cup. Outstanding in the line-out, and in the contact area.
