Bit late this week.

ScrubsfanChris

A few players slipping already. Might be dry now but very self under foot obviously.

Faugheen

Jack McGrath getting very excited there. Love to see that in an inter pro.

What did he say? I couldn’t hear it

He was just shouting in the face of a couple of the Munster forwards after Mathewson’s knock-on.

At it again after that scrum. He looks like he’s enjoying himself out there.

Faugheen

Jesus Christ Stockdale. Now is not the time to try that.

Is there any chance the Eir Sport commentators could shut up for two seconds so we could hear the ref mic. Sounded like a tasty few words from Jack McGrath!

Welcome back CJ!

awec

Rubbish defending.

Stockdale gifting Munster a try there. Really needs to bring a consistent level of accuracy and concentration to his game.

leakyboots

Alby will be a big loss for us if he goes, fabulous player

Faugheen

Some of these collisions have been great

ScrubsfanChris

"Some interesting decisions from the referee so far"

I already love Stephen Larkham

He's a long way off his 2018 form unfortunately for Ulster and Ireland.

In fairness Frank Murphy doesn't think an offside exists...
Last penno very soft..

Good to see McGrath so fired up...

Shefwedfan

That's all we need....a Ozzie who can't shut up about the ref

bilston

Impressive defence by Ulster so far.

Shame about Stockdale's balls up with the clearance kick as that is basically what gave Munster access for their try.

leakyboots

27 mins to call the first offside

sydthebeat

Nice hands by O'connor

bilston

Ah Moore. Lovely tip on pass, and great line by Marty unfortunate knock on

Squidgy Black

Was JJ out cold there for a second or two?

thomond2006

JJ's night is over. Bleyendaal is not the worst third choice 10 to have but Munster's resources are becoming stretched.

Faugheen

That’s unfortunate for JJ. He’d been playing well.

razorblunt

Marty is paid in hamburgers is he?
Old school prop.

bilston

In real time I don't think Faddes was late with the tackle (looks bad in slow motion) however whether he wrapped properly would be more questionable.

Buer

Fair amount of dickish behaviour from both sides trying to wind each other up.

leakyboots

Super backplay

thomond2006

Time to hunt the TBP now.

leakyboots

TJ missed a pull on the jersey of Alby after Scannel's kick there

kuang1

This is an enjoyable watch.
Ulster well up for it.

leakyboots

Missed opportunity there. Ulster started well but we're turning the screw

bilston

Frustrating half from an Ulster POV. It feels like we haven't strung more than 4 or 5 phases together.

Munster worth their lead.

ScrubsfanChris

How do you over throw two?
Losing composure defensively last week before half time and offensively here.

Only real complaint, mixed to good first half.

Locke_Lamora

Hate to say it, but Curtis is bottling it a little getting caught out in defence and messing up at the end there. Hopefully halftime will settle his nerves a little.

Empty stands again.

McCloskey and Marshall have been excellent in defence, Curtis looks like a nice passer at 10. But he has hardly touched the ball.

It's a shame we've left a good 4-6 first teamers at home (ornon the bench in the case of Treadwell)

Faugheen

Donnacha O’Callaghan is full of ****. He laughed off CJ shouting in James Ryan’s face in the Pro14 semi final and now he’s saying he’d like to see a yellow card for it after talking about McGrath.

It’s fairly full compared to most games

Based on tv of course

Are you surprised? Any ex player will have different views to player for against their province

ScrubsfanChris

Ulster put the ball in = Ulster penalty
Munster put the ball in = Munster peanlty

You're obviously not in the stadium

Not a good last 2 minutes from Tyler. Giving up the penalty and then then a poor missed tackle.

leakyboots

Silly by POM, kicked ahead and had a man outside him

c.p.w.g.w

CJ was on his feet there

leakyboots

Haley is having a fine game

When is the last time Ulster won in Thomond?

HEC quarter final a few years ago?

We've let them back into this ourselves, silly stuff

Shefwedfan

Stockdale really look out of form, he had a poor WC and has continued in this game......hope he can regain it

ScrubsfanChris

We should have started the team that beat Cardiff
