    Yeah I can't understand anyone trying to support people booing players.

    Regardless of what he's done, which nobody agrees with him, booing a player is just poor taste.

    And him supporting a player who says gays will go to hell unless they repent isn't in poor taste?

    He made his bed, he deserves all the booing he gets.

    It's important for fans to make it clear his views are unacceptable.

    It'll die down in a few weeks but hopefully it makes a lasting impression on him.

    Anyway. It's a good game to watch. Very competitive.

    Saracens are winning the ball pretty much everytime they kick it.

    In poorer taste than saying gays are going to hell? Come of it. He's lucky to be playing imo.

    Would they ever leave flan alone and let him do his job instead of interviews

    Very frustrating as it is putting Munster on the back foot.

    Haley timed that tackle inch perfectly.

    Munster's linespeed and 1v1 tackling is keeping them in this game.

    Poor show when you can't half fill a 32k stadium for a European semi final.

    Sweetnam lucky the pass was poor there, he got pulled inside. Chris Farrell has been superb so far.

    C.Farrell is relishing it.

    Defending on the 5m line, instead of getting a scrum on the 22m line...

    Is there a reason why they decided to have it in Coventry?

    Munster impressive defensively, Saracens good on attack if not a little wasteful. Amazing from Haley.

    No neutral grounds available in London and the Ricoh is the largest rugby ground outside of London.

    Get the feeling the pressure will catch up to Munster in the second. I thought sweetnam was caught by Strettle high too. Nothing bad but would have been a handy penalty to alleviate the pressure.

    ...but how has this transferred to points on the board?

    Munster can also count themselves lucky for getting a turnover penalty in the 22.

    Can we not start this referee nonsense already? There's loads of time left.

    No idea unless they expected a bigger crowd. Something fundamentally wrong when you get 12 to 15k for semi final of a major competition regardless of where it's played.

    Munster making handy territory at the hinge. Just have to be careful with possession.

    It's the home ground of a premiership team which owns it.

    It's a rugby ground. Football is also played there as well.

    Chill out! I'm not blaming the ref for the score or anything. You can't say that missing a forward pass, which leads to a scrambled clearance from the 5 metre line isn't frustrating though.

    And I agree, they were lucky that CJ got that turnover.

    That was the first instance where Saracens didn't bring any linespeed in defence but Munster still looked very pedestrian.

    Sarries a bit more accurate and look like they've really done their homework on Munster. Teams pretty evenly matched otherwise, Sarries just more organised.

    Saracens very scrappy in the last couple of minutes.
