I just spotted Anthony Foley in Killaloe Cathedral, saying a Novena for Keatley's fitness.

What is the story with Bleyendall?

Interesting that Conway looks to be heir apparent at fullback. I'd love to see him do well, or at least go three or four games without injury.

thomond2006

Bleyendaal has a quad injury.

Hyperbullet

A solid performance, get the bonus point, and no injuries. Is that so much to ask for?

Fairly snuck that one in under the radar!

Saw similar being said about our backline v Edinburgh and we only scored one try and we'll never forget the finish. My heart is still racing.

4TH official and tmo same person? Surely a mistake

I assume it will be the same across all games this weekend but Munster rugby have confirmed that they'll be a minutes silence before today's game.

Anyone know if the park and ride facilities are in place from the South Court Hotel? Thanks

I saw no mention of it on the match day news.

I see on Facebook & MFs people are suggeting we sing La Marseilles after the minutes silence. I like idea but afraid we'll make a bags of it as so few know the words.

Maybe the choir could manage it with crowd humming it or just go for "Allez les Bleus" immediately after the minutes silence.

Not much time to organise it either way but it would nice to show some solidarity with the French.

Something like this on the big screens perhaps?:

Shouldn't be riding those things during the season.

Roanmore

Great start, try Botha.

Keatley makes it 7

LuckyGent88

Good solid maul and nice to finish it off with a try.

Won't be much point going for penalties today with the gale

Roanmore

Good kick Murray and nice steal at lineout

Roanmore

Would have been a lovely Zebo try there.

Second try in it seems, think I'll watch Saracens v Toulouse.

Roanmore

Dropped by Botha I'd say

vienne86

Ooh, I think he lost it.......no try.

LuckyGent88

That should have been the 2nd try.

Very good start from us though. Been very positive

thomond2006

Training session so far.

case885

Bj would be in dreamland if he got 2/in 8 minutes

Yep - this is going to be easy for Munter.

It's gotten a bit dull in the past few minutes. Poor mistakes.

LuckyGent88

Ah disaster

Roanmore

Try Treviso, Keatley kick blocked down

thomond2006

case885

Keatley is just not good enough, terribly slow kick

Great finish to be fair to him!

molloyjh

How did it take so long to award that!?

Roanmore

Keatley looked in two minds whether to kick or pass

case885

Bj lucky there

Anatidaephobia

****ING KILCOYNE.

LuckyGent88

Earls should have kicked that forward

vienne86

Ach silly knock on.

Anatidaephobia

Chisholm with another knock on...

Roanmore

Murray's kicking well, playing the conditions.

Bridge93

What way is the wind blowing? Seems to be going a bit all over the place

Anatidaephobia

What happened to Sherry?

vienne86

Zanni off for assessment.....he'd be a big loss for Treviso.

Triumvirate

Can't remember seeing TP so muted for a European game.

Conditions are destroying the game as a spectacle.

Off for a Concussion test

Roanmore

Munster have got very sloppy. The way they stated I thought they'd have 3 trys by now. Only the 3 in it

case885

Keatley and botha are such weak links in the team, botha is being killed in the scrum.

Very dull. I thought Munster would be out of sight by now.

And he just got an extension...
