It's Leinster all the way for me.
Any grown man who supports another province over their own has a lot in common with 90% of the 8 and 9 nine year olds who pick one of the 'Big Four' in the U.K. for their success or chances of alone.
The myth that Munster has some sort of 'parish' or 'salt of the earth' feel to it is nauseating to be frank.
The fact that the likes of Ronan O' Gara

, Peter Stringer, Tomás O'Leary, Donncha O' Callaghan, Tony Buckley, Mick O' Driscoll, Anthony Foley and Jerry Flannery to name but a few! are all former players from fee paying private schools such as PBC and CBC and as a result would in my eyes anyway be seen as upper middle class always goes unnoticed.
Another thing that I have well grown tired of is the lazy jounalism of the broadsheet papers which continiously publish these bizarre articles relating to the 'Red Army' who devote their lives to a 'Crusade' for the 'Holy Grail'!
Billy Keane and Co. please
In addition Paul O' Connell has no similarity to superman
The fact that a club team of the size and support of Munster blessed with half an Ireland team with a few very costly Kiwi recruits can win is not 'unbelievable' or 'magical' but very achievable.
The same Kiwis who have 'embraced' the 'Munster Way' so whole heartedly. Believe me If you were being paid maybe 4 times the average New Zealand rugby professionals salary you would too.
I'd have little time for a provincial deserter but for the record the bandwagon element doesn't really bother me. I can understand perfectly why thousands would go to a city like Cardiff, London or Toulouse for a weekend of boozing, infedility

and the likes for a game they never played or don't understand. Why not? It's a bit of fun.
This might come across as begrudgery. It's not. When Munster play Ospreys i'll still root for an Irish team.
Just save me from the propaganda

The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast.
