Munster v Connacht, sat 6th Jan, 7:35 tg4 - build up, probably match thread

ScrubsfanChris

If you don't catch your knock on then it's a deliberate knock, never heard that one.

JOD was on the ground when he played that, is that not a pen?

Farrell still looking good.

Murray flew in straight off his feet there to clear out Healy in the ruck straight before Munster scored. Was clear as day.

Connacht getting rode again by the ref in an interpro. What a ****ing surprise.

Healy was already off his feet and not supporting his weight.

Give it a rest, bit early to be blaming the ref yet.

If refs were to be ultra strict at the ruck for this there would be 50-60 penalties every game. Connacht players do the exact same.

Ref has been fine so far.

Advantage had already been given to Munster. They were coming out of there with points regardless

:rolleyes: The penalty count is about 8 to 2 in Connacht’s favour. Hardly a case of getting rode

Seems a long time ago now when we gave away just the 1 penalty in 40 minutes at Welford Road.

Munster discipline still needs to improve significantly. Sloppy penalties (7 already) and 10m given up for talk in first 25mins.

That's a huge penalty count for this stage of the game. They're much the better team but just give the ball away and yield territory due to discipline.

The right one to play in Grenoble

What took the ref so long to blow for penalty there? Munster getting killed at scrum time

Mr Shikadance

Munster getting crucified by Connacht b team

Going backwards doesn't mean you concede a penalty, the backrows peeling away before the ball is out does.

They’re 4 points up?

Finally ref talks to Connacht 3 about angling in.

Scrums should magically swing back in Munsters favour from now on.

Squidgy Black

When did Connacht fans get so arrogant?

connachta

Connacht doing unexpectedly well vs 90% full-Munster team in Thomond, you have to be honest

ScrubsfanChris

Advantage over....... no wait :rolleyes:

Then he should have stopped play due to Murray giving away a penalty and gone back to the original infringement. Can't just make up your own rules as you go along. It was very blatant by Murray.

What was Oliver thinking there?

I don't think so. Connacht are dominating them in the scrum.

I guess not. He's just going to ignore it an penalise Kilcoyne.

Nuts.

Kilcoyne in trouble. Scrumaging never his strength.

freyners

That was as blatant a come across as I've seen by kilcoyne. Carey just needs to keep square at this rate. Ref is very vigilent

Whatever about the others. That last was purely kilcoyne coming across

Quinn Roux thanking Kilcoyne there. Getting minced.
