Marshall clears out from the munster side, and then earls even more blatent

Squidgy Black

Earls starting to lose the head a bit.

razorblunt

So stupid by Earls. What was he even doing?

shootermacg

Earls looks like he's actually on drugs.

leakyboots

Seen worse in from the side in the game not given

Clegg

Munsters defence was ripped apart there. Few hard card carries then a pass back against the grain is enough to break them.

Utah_Saint

Lovely...

razorblunt

Goggin on the wing again?

Only a scrum half left on the bench.

Bridge93

McCloskey does everything Chris Farrell does but with less injuries.

12 is fascinating for Ireland. If you leave Farrell at 13 you still have Henshaw McCloskey and Aki who all excel at different things

awec

Balacoune with some rock solid defence

Bridge93

Jeez Robson must’ve been reading the Ireland thread

Bazzo

Serious tackle from Bobby Balacoune there

Squidgy Black

This Balacoune fella can really tackle

Utah_Saint

Rob with a tackle...

razorblunt

Not even getting the lineout. Linesman wasn’t even looking at it.

leakyboots

That's a Munster lineout. Scannell released before in touch and out off white

Dave_The_Sheep

It writes itself, doesn't it?

P.Walnuts

Can't tackle without injuring himself, awful technique.

sydthebeat

The one part of cooneys game which has been poor is his box kick...

He hasn't kicked a good one tonight

Bridge93

Munster in big trouble here. Pack going backwards and backs trying to force it as a result

Clegg

Wasn't expecting Munsters pack to be steamrolled so much.

razorblunt

Munster backline seems to have regressed. Throwing it to the wing like underage defence just down way behind the initial ruck.

leakyboots

Really impressed by Daly tonight

For a man who I remember having a pretty decent kicking and passing game, Rory Scannell spends an awful lot of time just running into people. If that’s how Munster want to play 12 then De Allende will transform them considerably. Scannell is not very good at it.

Scannell = journeyman

Bridge93

Addison been the biggest disappointment for me for ulster. Just threw that away after tidying up Balacounes offload. Line out been crap again too

P.Walnuts

Botha is a bit of empty jersey, would love to see JOD actually play his best position at a higher frequency

How is he a journeyman when he only ever played for one club? And he's just gone 26.....

What I mean by that is middling to average player.

razorblunt

Either Murray is a slow as a wet weak or Marty Moore is the fastest man in the world over 3m but he was miles offside and tackled without the ball.

Murray standing and complaining doesn’t help anyone though.

troyzer

I just can't get over how **** the Munster attack is. No imagination whatsoever.
