Munster titans
We are blessed here in our fair limerick city,
With the best rugby team along with poets that are witty,
Munster’s home of rugby is the new thomond park ground,
Where our newest treasure Keith Earls was found,
Like lightening from end to end he can be seen,
All with the support of our Munster team,
O’Gara with ball firmly planted in the old sod,
Conversion for sure with his boot sent from god,
Most teams arrive here but go home in a daze,
Having been rammed by Botha and our own bull john Hayes,
Flannery with a throw in straight and true,
Grasping hands and the ball is stuck like glue,
O’Connell O’Callaghan in the lineout for height,
Grabbing the ball with all of their might,
Wallace through the middle with Mafi from the side,
No fear shown here this team will not hide,
With Ronan Holland Gleeson Barnes and Dineen,
Hurley Fogarty Murphy all plainly seen,
Horan O’Driscoll and Howelett taking hit after hit,
Supported by Ryan O’ Leary and Varley all fit,
A push for the line with Zebo and stringer,
Over they go with huge effort a humdinger,
Throughout this team and having named but a few,
The future of Munster rugby looks solid and true,
With O’Mahony our newest to sharpen his skill,
And Holland Foley and Payne feeding his will,
Working stoutly behind the scenes to help keep up the good fight,
Mcgahan’s team pushing to get everything just right,
Supporters in the stands all cheering come on,
As a game hangs by a point nearly gone,
Heave Munster for Thomond Park will never let you down,
One last effort from O’Gara as the ball is sent towards town,
As it heads between the posts the final whistle ends the play,
Those Munster titans yet again have won and saved the day,
Thomond park the home of Munster rugby here in limerick city,
All who come to play here will not get any pity,
This is our home and you will find us one and all unforgiving,
To all who want to beat us, no 1/4 asked and none given.
