Stone wall pen against archer there ignored

Zebo!

clsmooth

What a try! Quality!

leakyboots

Poor attempt by Ross Byrne there on Casey at the end also

SaoPaulo41

That should have been checked , noway was that clear cut not in touch

EarWig

TG4 online has crashed for me....

Clegg

Byrne off injured.

clsmooth

Poor by Ringrose and Byrne. Looks like Byrne off. Excellent start by Munster. Game looks there for them today.

Clegg

Looks like Byrne is proper hurt too.

Death, taxes, and Burkie giving out about the ref in an interpro.

Great try, let's go! Zebo throwing it back a few years

leakyboots

Porter boring in?

Burkie1203

Just penalise Archer if he has his feet too far back ffs

That's twice now

Looked to be in touch on the last replay they showed from the touchline, but you'd have to think it was checked.

clsmooth

Munster getting a few breaks at the scrum so far.

theVersatile

Can't get held up there Archie!

Great start though.

leakyboots

Hmmmm thought that might have been down before a hand got under it. Ringrose missed the crucial tackle there, Crowley off to a stormer

The ref actually told him what to do. And he didn't. And the ref still hasn't penalised him

fitz

Pass out to the line was a mile forward, surely...

I like how you ignore the fact he also talked to Porter.

Podge_irl

Well the 6-2 split now looks silly.

SaoPaulo41

Jesus we are asleep, so reactive to everything

leakyboots

Champions performance so far but Leinster will get a foothold at some stage soon and get their game going

clsmooth

Porter is destroying Archer so far. Archer got away with a few earlier.

Clegg

Frisch skinned

theVersatile

Serious hits going in.

Pass was forward anyways but Daly is so good at those big reads off the edge

AbusesToilets

Fair play to Munster so far, some lovely structure and intent in attack

leakyboots

Ref setting out his stall for penalties on the line there

theVersatile

Yeah that's a yellow alright ...

Hodnett uncharacteristically falling off a few hits

AbusesToilets

Great break by Frawley there to set up that bust

leakyboots

Leinster making a lot of sloppy errors. We can't get our defensive lineout going at all, Leinster movement is excellent

sydthebeat

Stupid mistakes all over the pitch for Leinster. Ringrose having a complete mare in defense so far

He’s taking the ball to the line very well and picking some nice passes. Impressive so far for a player who hasn’t had much time at 10, especially with Leinster.

Clegg

There was a moment earlier where Leinster could have scored a try but the wide player drifted inwards rather than holding width. Wound have been a clear run in from the touchline had he stayed in position.

Henshaw I think?

Was a weird decision.

Clegg

Munster aren't doing anything special. Some very basic Leinster errors here.

sydthebeat

The rustiness and sloppiness from Leinster is unforgivable at this stage

SaoPaulo41

Get in!!!!

leakyboots

Silly offload, need to keep it tight. Great pace by JGP

theVersatile

Awful from Beirne.

Can't be gifting Leinster points like...

Especially given the yellow, we had been managing the game well until then

Clegg

That's excellent defence in our 22 which led to that try. Absolutely minced Ahern(?) In the tackle and Munster panicked and got sloppy.

AbusesToilets

Serious wheels from JGP there

clsmooth

Excellent by JGP. Great pace and composure. Seen plenty of players make a balls of either the kick forward or pick up.

Not his first time doing that.

No surprise JGP covers the wing with that speed

Clegg

That's Ross Byrne gone for a while I think.

Chance for Harry or Sam to step up.

SaoPaulo41

JOB having a stinker

Clegg

Was that a poor pass from Larmour or a badly timed run from JOB?

accensi0n

Pass was behind him in fairness

clsmooth

Been really impressed by Frawley so far. Lovely zip in his pass. Taking it flat. Threading the line.

Great opportunity to stake a claim for that 10 jersey over the next few weeks with Byrne looking like he might be out for a period.

accensi0n

Conan looking strong

fitz

Huge turnover from Conan.
