Munster to get their holes handed to them next week.

Ref has let to much go for me.
Hopefully he doesn't lose control of it.

razorblunt

He knocked it on falling to the floor, facing his own posts.
That’s some skill.

Awful refereeing, Munster avoided a yellow twice now as a try was scored.

The amount of stick POM gets on here. I think he’s having a very solid game

gally74

think POM will be off to France soon....

Faugheen

Van Graan = spoofer.

For all the talk of the ‘Larkham effect’, the Munster attack is the exact same as last year. Awful, and it’s clear what the issue is.

The Munster half-backs need to play some heads up rugby like Cooney and Burns are doing. The system isn’t working.

troyzer

ROC saying on Twitter that when they lose this, Munster have only won two from the last seven.

Exclamation Marc

Ooof. This is a walloping.

Ulster looks great. Cooney needs to get some starts for Ireland in key games.

Sinbad_NI

Nice one big Stockdale

Clegg

Have to ask some hard questions of Van Graan now. Munster's forwards are getting worse by the week. Intercept occurred because Munsters backs were pushing it.

leakyboots

Had Stockdale really not scored for Ulster in a year? Mad

A-Train

Stockdale with a great read and break away try. Well read by him from Joeys pass.

Bridge93

Another raid to the east surely being plotted in that coaching room

nightmare stuff

This is pretty much Munsters best 15 right or close enough?

FrancieBrady

A rout.

ClanofLams

Expect them to be fine but Munster are going to be in a scrap to make top 3 at current rate.

The backs were making some decent improvements before last week when they seem to have forgotten what they were doing. The forwards have been rubbish last few games.

Murray is stop slow for what Larkham wants to do.
3 of the 4 scrum halfs are, the 4th is a kid.

The best suited got sent packing.

Granny15

What’s the view on Cooney V Murray? I think Murray continues with selfish box kicking and giving ball away. Cooney better at holding possession for his team

Well Kilcoyne and Ryan/Archer didn’t start.
Kleyn, Stander and Beirne although he’s goosed.
Chris Farrell

I think there was some evidence of a changed attacking structure earlier in the season. We saw that double pivot at 10 and 12 and a greater effort to draw in opposition defenders. But when the test players came back into the squad the attacking plan reverted back to that of seasons past.

Van Graan must be asked about why Munster have gotten worse with their best players on the pitch. The pack has also gotten worse week on week.

All depends on what time of gameplan Farrell wants to play. One that involves alot of kicking its still Murray, anything else really and Cooney would start you'd think.

No, all games, they said similar at the start of this game.

Few turnovers and stolen lineout ball. But he's part of a pack that's been mullered. Only so much credit he can get for this performance.

yerrahbah

Thats better. Pretty sure Munster have no locks on the field
