    Great start from Munster, playing some lovely stuff



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 210 ✭✭YTM


    Good to see the ref get the cards out early.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,546 ✭✭✭leakyboots


    Awesome from Aherne!!!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,603 ✭✭✭Dave_The_Sheep


    That's also unbelievably stupid.

    Aherne did brilliantly to get over after.

    Ali: floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee.

    Ahern: soars like an awkward eagle, burrows like a furious rhino.

    Good stuff from Aherne and half way to a bonus point only 15mins in.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,154 ✭✭✭✭Neil3030


    Was Nank ahead of the kicker there?

    Lovely little kick back inside from O'Brien. It's gonna be a long night for Glasgow.

    Ahern was technically tackled since he had one knee on the ground with a player holding on to him and should have released the ball 😄

    Total Potaoetainment

    That was great defence, we held them on their 10m for a load of phases there. Aherne unlucky not to get the maul called



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,546 ✭✭✭leakyboots


    That maul defence was not so great...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,154 ✭✭✭✭Neil3030


    Yeah, worrying signs earlier when the attacking maul wasn't up to much.

    Kleyn really does seem to be the fundamental requirement on both sides of the maul.

    This nonsense about grabbing your head when you go down from contact nowhere near it needs to stop. Send them straight off for a HIA.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,032 ✭✭✭accensi0n


    Great try

    Super break from Coombes to make that. Frisch did well too to break the gainline, he's a lovely player, has it all



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,967 ✭✭✭lawrencesummers


    Peter be under pressure to get the 6 jersey back.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,546 ✭✭✭leakyboots


    Bonus point wrapped up, Crowley kicking brilliantly from the sideline again (thought the shotclock had just expired... but still, great kick!)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 210 ✭✭YTM


    And that's why Aherne is likely being tried out at six. Frisch is so good. Hopefully gets an Ireland call up next year.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,546 ✭✭✭leakyboots


    Super first half, still a couple of things to keep the feet on the ground (lineout in attack, maul defence...) but we've really put them to the sword.

    This Aherne at 6 experiment has been a roaring success so far. Having a fella almost 6 foot 8 out on the wing who used be a fullback... just crossfield kick all day to him!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,018 ✭✭✭OldRio


    Some wonderful play by Munster. I think Glasgow have been closing the gap in the lineout the last few times.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 31,730 Mod ✭✭✭✭Podge_irl


    Worryingly easy to score a maul try again.

    Munster much the better team and they'll be happy but that's a big worry.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,154 ✭✭✭✭Neil3030


    First entry into the Nank Spank Bank.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,546 ✭✭✭leakyboots


    Our work in the tight needs to be better, that's where Kleyn is missed.
