Munster v Treviso

Johngoose

Munster seem to be putting out a second stream team against Treviso.A win here will put Munster at the top of the Pro 12 table,ahead of Leinster.

It will be a great chance for Munster to get a bonus point win.Yes I did read that Treviso will be stretched with internationals away.Treviso away from home are normally poor as well.

I think Munster have a very strong team out considering that it's an international weekend. Our pack is very strong, and I expect we'll push them around in the scrum all day. There's also a few first choice players in the backline, and I'm really excited to see how Arnold gets on.

This is not on TV but Live95 might be broadcasting it in the radio and through their website.

No
Zebre streamed their game against Munster s few weeks back but nothing for this one.
Radio or Twitter the only options I think.

Conway try, 15 - 3 to Munster.

Felix Jones is God

Conway again, 20-3.

Akrasia

another conway try, converted, 22-3

Conway having a good game, he said in an article this week he has to play more consistently to get into Irish reckoning so good to see him back up his performance against the Maori.

It's mad to think Conway is still only 25, he's been around for years. Ultimately as long as Earls stays as a back three player (which is highly likely) Conway is going to struggle to get big match starts. Sweetnam has taken his spot.

Lads the ref here is awful. First game in the pro 12 for him so we will cut him some Slack. But he is truly bad.

Bout 4 Thousand I'd say

DOS scores the try to wrap up the BP.

20 and bit minutes left

Akrasia

those 4k fans earned their bragging rights by the sounds of the live 95 commentary. It's a cold day to be standing around watching this non contest

ScrubsfanChris

2 more tries for Munster. Wootton and ROM

41 - 3

LuckyGent88

Good to see the team keeping the positive momentum going and look to be quite clinical in attack.

Top of the league

Finishes 46 - 3 Munster

Job done I suppose. Top of the table and a nice addition to the points difference.

It was a depleted Treviso side and we had a few new combinations but it was a dour enough game. There was 4 tries in the 2nd half but it was one if the worst halves of rugby thast I watched, the cold weather might have clouded my opinion.

I think our record of tries scored in a game is 7 once we got the 7th tonight In hoped we'd push on and beat the record, we got a penalty to kick to the corner, won the lineout but lost the ball forward in the maul and the game ended once Treviso kicked the ball away from the scrum.

How did sam Arnold perform? Will be interesting to see how he integrates.

He made two big errors, played the ball from their retsarts that hadn't gone 10. The second time he did it he knocked on the ball so Treviso got the scrum rather than us. In general he was OK, nothing special, good in defence and attack. Like a lot of games v Italian teams the work is generally done by the forwards. Tyler won MotM but I'd have given it to a forward.

Jack O Donoghue was my motm today he was everywhere.

Was in front of the management desk and they were frustrated at the slow play from the base.

Lads Klyen is immense

Agreed on both counts, although I thought Ronan O'Mahony or O'Shea were also in with a shot at the motm award.

Kleyn is so ****ing big. I really hope we start both him and O'Shea at some point. Throw in du Toit and Archer and that would be a ridiculously heavy pack.

Edit: Kleyn is listen as 110kg on the Munster website, but there is no way that is true. O'Shea is listed as 120, and Kleyn looks twice the size of him!

Yeah jeez, Thomas du Toit looked huge for a loose head.

Edit: just checked the Munster Rugby site, he is listed at 6'2'', 136kg(21st 5lbs) which is like half a weight of a mountain for a LHP. He is definitely the biggest prop we have on our roster now.

Highlights of Munster v Treviso

Watch Scannell dummy from the back of a maul to create space on the wing for ROM to score and my favourite try from the game was Tyler's cross field kick from deep inside our half to ROM who catches and passes to Conway for his 2nd try of the day. Conway's first try was a bit of fortune but shows why you should always chase up a kick or run as support.
