    So we’re playing rugby league for the first ten of the second half. 13 v 13 with two packs of 6 each

    That's an awful 47 minutes of rugby lads.

    No complaints about the cards. Would like look at some of the penalty only decisions as think some of them should have been more. Terrible game

    Cloete penalty and non penalty aside, I think Murphy has done pretty well in about as testing a game as one could possibly be put in charge in

    A bit of sympathy for Papali’i

    But if you go that high for a tackle you run the risk of a red card.

    No question about the 2nd Red.

    Disappointed with how Munster have reacted to the 2nd red card.

    Aki has been immense

    Not the type of game Munster will want the week before a Semi-Final

    Was Papali'i's tackle a red? It's a very risky way to tackle with the way the laws are, but I'm not so sure there was actually contact with the neck/head. There's a whiplash effect because of the force of it and then Murray is potentially more hurt because he gets pushed into Farrell.

    This suggests there was contact with neck/head:

    The halftime replay was pretty damning...

    There was an angle from behind the tackle where the shoulder clearly makes first contact with Murray's face. No doubt about the red card.

    Aki has been like a man possessed since coming on.

    Blade did brilliantly to stop that try. Didn't commit to the tackle on Murray so he could track back on Earls.

    I'd like to see JOD on. Maul defence hasn't been great, he'd add to that.

    Munster need to get anyone of value off the pitch ASAP

    This is what Munster should have been doing in the first half. Think the blood must've been rushing to the heads as their decision making was poor. Needed that half time break to calm down.

    Aki. He gave it to a player from the losing team last week?

    Good handling from the 3 front row forwards there. Conway will be a bit disappointed.
