    Wha?! POM has it in oodles but they wanted to get rid of it: they gave him an early captaincy in Munster for a few games to try and cool him off.
    Ire V Samoa or Fiji (a few years ago), POM was the only Irish player to respond with physicality to a high/tip tackle on an Irish player (might have been himself) but the rest of the Irish guys were just standing, looking around, after one of their teammates took a deliberate blow. I think ROG or Wally in commentary on the incident, said that if that had happened a few years previously, the Irish Team would have been in there in a heartbeat.

    POM had to cool a little bit; at the start he'd nearly rip a fella for anything. Dave Foley had a bit of it too but I haven't seen it in a while.

    Kuridrani i think upended him in the defeat the week before the cancelled NZ game.

    The picture quality from Italy is always crap. It's like watching rugby in the 70s.

    Great chaseing back from TOL. Scannell and Keatley appear to have left the full back to one another there.

    He should tuck in in to his shirt! He can kick though - just put them ahead.

    Thought Cronin popped his man up there, should have been a penalty to us

    Zebre's handling skills better than ours. Need to up a gear in the second half, we're too passive. Scannell at 12 going well, Cronin too.

    Games gone stale after the break. Messy and too much stop/start

    Smart play by Keatley in the end but excellent defence from Zebre too.

    Absolute muck. Good defence from Zebre; Munster incapable of any incision.

    The fact that Munster didnt try to score again against Zebre on the 22 at the end of the game is pretty poor and shows a huge lack of ambition imo. I know they can't afford an intercept try but Zebre have not looked like scoring all game anyway.

    Best defensive display I've seen from an Italian side in a while, but the game was rubbish as a spectacle.
    Job done...take the points and go home

    Why do something stupid and lose the game at the buzzer? The ambition was to come away with a win. An intercepted pass leading to an injury time win wouldn't make make any regular posters in here happy would it?
