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

Ah they're probably 6 or 7 players away from their best XV.

But some of their senior players have been really poor. Earls has made some terrible decisions, POM has been typically AWOL.

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

He's having the exact opposite of a 'solid' game. He's having his few moments here and there and doing nothing in between.

Squidgy Black

Two interpros in a row that Will Addison has absolutely lit up a 12 and drilled them.

Outstanding stuff.

Utah_Saint

That was exact same tackle jod made earlier and was told it was fine

sydthebeat

Any forward playing for a beaten pack will be seen as poor.

However with ulster's possession tonight POM has to come off with at least double digit tackles.

He's a class class act.

The ref has been very kind to Munster as well. That tackle by O’Connor was no different to the one in Reidy.

Speaking of, Reidy has been fantastic in this game. My MOTM I think.

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

Not really, Conference B is very mediocre.


Also next run of Pro14 games is Kings(H) Zebre(A) Scarlets(H) Benetton(A) Benetton(H) Cardiff(H)

The past few months have really shown up some of Schmidts selection calls. Addison is one of them.

He's got three at the moment according to Ultimate Rugby.

Utah_Saint

This ref is having a mare

The Addison one was fair though. He was constantly injured and had no game time. Was too big a risk to take. The bigger cock up was not selecting Larmour at 15 when he was playing out of his skin.

Munster are absolutely awful, there's not really any other way to call it.

I just checked ESPN myself.

3 tackles.... That's pretty disgraceful

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

Very much wrong then.

Including this, last 11 games its 6 wins 1 draw and 4 loss

Took all of 30 seconds to see that.

In total Munster have played 14 games so far this season winning 8

Squidgy Black

Lovely pass from Carbery but absolutely nowhere for him to go

Lovely pass from Rory Scannell, Has that in his locker

Bridge93

Carbery has nothing in front of him and nothing outside him

razorblunt

Don’t want to bash Goggin too much as he’s not a winger but to run at stockdale’s outside shoulder was pretty silly.

And yet he’s had a good game. Been a nuisance along with O Donoghue

yerrahbah

Shane Daly is having a fine game in tough circumstances

Scythica

Not really one for the big analysis...

Christ its nice watching Ulster play at the moment

Bridge93

No doubt we’ll hear about POMs ‘workrate’, ‘unseen work’ and other vague meaningless cliches people use to protect their favorites.

He shouldn’t be near the Irish 23

testtech05

Cooney's box kicking was unusually poor tonight but good game besides

Daly and Carberry are playing at a different level to their teammates

Arguably best on the pitch. Great to see another young lad put his hand up.

Usual POM bashers on here out in force I see, tis gas.

Sinbad_NI

Great to finally see an Ulster pack dominating.

It's been a long long time.

Not like Cloete/Swayze to lose the head!

Bridge93

Cloete went from such a decent start at Munster to a total liability
