Were they selling tickets for €20...and the stadium half empty

chupacabra

Gutted. What a game tho.

Toulouse could beat nearly all Irish sides this year. Looking like their year

Brutal way to lose, very tough for Munster.

Some game, so unlucky to lose that way

Best performance I have seen from Munster in years.

These new young players will win things.

ElisaAtWar

What a game. One of the best I've seen. Kudos and sadness for Munster. You were incredible today

Great game. So harsh on Healy. Toulouse are missing the spark of Kolbe munster had them shut down for most of it bar Dupont playing hero ball at times

A-Train

Hard luck Munster, played so well. Horrible way to go out

CptMonkey

Well that’s a hard loss. Can’t fault the team. We played well and probably should have done it but that’s the way it goes.

Things are looking better for the future

blackcard

Great display from Munster. Ultimately, the scrum was the difference between the teams

leakyboots

Sickener, we left points out there.

I thought the same when Munster lost to Clermont in 2013 but that in hindsight was the swan song of the old guard.

Today it was some of the youngsters standing tall and the old guard guiding them through.

Kendellen is potentially a superstar.

40,000 tickets sold... but maybe maths or vision aren't your best points... hope you enjoyed the game though.

Well done munster. Haven't felt like saying that for a long time. But finally looks like there's some unity and team spirit there.

Today proves we're closer to being deserving of a place at the top table in Europe again. Very happy about today's performance despite the outcome.

Feel for Healy. He has a brilliant future ahead of him, and I hope he can shrug off today as an off day and continue getting better.

Happy and proud to be wearing a munster Jersey as I type this. :)

Just on the train home now. Leinster fans here buty little lad was adamant he was going to to support Munster against Toulouse.

Unbelievable atmosphere considering the stadium was only 2/3 full.

Toulouse scrum was so strong in the first half. Peter O'Mahony is a gladiator - it was a privilege to watch him play today.

Gutted for Munster, losing a game on place kicks. There was a few points from missed kicks left behind during the regular 80 mins which is a real shame which should have had Toulouse out of reach at the end.

I seem to remember a certain Munster 10 missing some vital kicks in an important European game at the start of his career and he turned out okay......... hopefully the experience will be the making of Healy too

right petal, you can work on your permutations now..

That rushed drop goal attempt from Munster cost them dearly. Needed 1 more phase to give Healey more time. Shame. What an incredible effort from Munster, given the players missing.

Jesus wept, that was 2 or 3 hours ago. Got under your skin did I?

**** off.

Being a kicker is like being a prop....

When things go wrong, theres no hiding place and you get exposed for the world to see....

I felt bad watching healy there.....like i did for Tom Court in Twickenham a good number of years ago when he got rinsed.....

Pussyhands

Well that confirms it, joey carbery is not the sexton heir. A complete bottle job with the missed penalties and then to top it off, he let's a kid take the hardest kicks when it should have been him taking the bull by the horns. Not a leader and it showed today.

Pussyhands

Great game all the same. That toulouse try in the second half was in the blink of an eye.
