I think our back row is what wins this for us tonight...

Akrasia

According to TRK, the saints will probably be routing all their back line movements at width directly through Ford, if we can just nail the receiver from Ford's pass we'll have them in disarray

Is this on BT sports?

Saints have already been crushed once today, would be harsh to make them play Munster now too!

thomond2006

We could do without this lad on co-commentary.

budhabob

What a pass from scannell! Some high tempo 5 mins.

emmet02

Leicester not even competing a tiny bit at ruck time. Munster should be trucking it straight through them.

budhabob

I'm shattered after that.

More proof that i can't concentrate on two things at once

emmet02

Excellent kick chasing.

budhabob

Conway having a great start, great break and chasing every ball in the air and competing well

emmet02

Johann van Eyebrows looks a serious fella.

BBDBB

appreciate the updates lads, thanks

Venjur

BOD is ok in the studio and good on podcasts and things like that. But he is an awful awful match commentator. He used to be ok, but he's gotten really nervous on the mic the last 12 or so months and it's getting worse.

budhabob

Keatley looks badly hurt....

Bridge93

THAts the worst advantage play ever by the ref. They lost 30m

Munster 3 - 0 Leicester after 15 mins.

Keatley took a fair knock but seems to be okay to jog it off.

SAm Arnold having a blinder so far

emmet02

Conway early contender for MoTM

Done everything well

sydthebeat

Nice one

Don Kiddick

Don't forget the ball Rhys

emmet02

Great hands from Rhys Marshall. Reminiscent of that try that Shaggy scored once carrying the ball behind his back!

Easy direct rugby really.

Munster 8 - 0 Leicester, straightforward conversion to come.

emmet02

10 - 0 : 21 mins on the clock

Great stuff, have said it on here before but Rhys is possibly the best all-round hooker on the island, amazing hands and footballing skills

Leicester are all over the place. Munster can get a BP no bother here.

Scannell, Arnold, conway and Marshall all having crackers.

thomond2006

Leicester are offering little so far. Munster's defence is well able for them.

POM had a lovely turnover there to get us back up the pitch
