    Connacht discipline very very poor today disappointing to see. Last angle they showed of the first one looked red to me and delahunt had no excuse was an elbow to the throat.

    I did think Cloete late hit on Blade looked high in the one brief replay we saw so thought it maybe warranted closer inspection too......

    It's all pretty academic now anyway Murphy could nearly blow it up at half time and save is all the hassle of watching the 2nd half.

    Plenty on the overlap for the 3rd try and Munster still insisted on bulldozing up the forwards. No sense of heads up rugby

    Toland referring to munster players by first name and Connacht players by number is grating

    At least the referee is consistent with his cards. Constant infringing near the line will get a yellow.

    Munster since the red cards have been awful.

    That’s the point only a penalty. I rewatched it again and clear yellow. He can’t help being biased for his own team. Only natural

    Even against 13 men, POM is still hardwired to cheat.

    Think De Allende hit on Sexton last week should have been YC and wasnt. Cloete was borderline more as a purely stupid thing to do

    Aki has been excellent since coming on. Best centre on the pitch.

    DDA has been excellent as well, to be fair.

    Agreed. First 20 mins was very good. Pretty poor since then.

    I don't know why the commentator is so surprised about Beirne's yellow. Referee has been consistent about penalising players not being on their feet at the ruck.

    When Connacht have 15 against 13 you're welcome to come back to me.

    Aki is incredible.

    Playing the role of 6, 8 and 12 all at once.

    Both sides should be embarrassed by this. What an appalling advert for the game. Referee has had little to no choice

    3 yellows, 2 reds. Shambles.

    Hard programmed to cheat?

    There is zero need for that comment he gives away a needless penalty but that’s it

    Munster needed that half time more than Connacht did. Which is incredible when you think about it.

    The second twenty minutes were pretty horrific from a Munster perspective.

    Munster fully deserve the lead but worrying for their defence that even with a two and one man advantage the only way they can defend their line against 13 men is by constant infringing and offsides. Probably would have been a better option to just concede a try and get back up field with a full complement.

    Shocking half of rugby there. Aki holding up Connacht & Munster struggling at the end of half.

    Shocking stuff.
