Thanks for posting OP.

Bookmakers have Munster to lose by 8 which sounds about right. I'd absolutely take a LBP from this. It should be a fun watch!

Going by previous results, a TBP is more likely than a LPB :P

Coming away from SA with 6 points would be grand.

As a matter of interest what odds had the bookmakers on the Glasgow and Ulster games there?

Glasgow were -6, not sure about Ulster.

Marshall in the bin and 7 nil to Cheetahs

ScrubsfanChris · 11-10-2019 5:28pm

Ball lost in the maul, ref gives Pienaar 15 seconds to find the ball instead of awarding Munster a scrum

PetKing · 11-10-2019 5:35pm

The two lads commentating should just head down to the pitch and get the shift with the Cheetahs out of the way, seriously like

ScrubsfanChris · 11-10-2019 5:35pm

Cheetahs back three being targeted well, they're crap under high balls
Keep it up

Penalty against Munster: "Good decision by the ref there"
Penalty against Cheetahs: "Interesting decision, not sure about that"

:rolleyes:

ScrubsfanChris · 11-10-2019 5:43pm

Doing a very good job at controlling the pace of the game, not getting sukered into a loose display.

shootermacg · 11-10-2019 5:48pm

We're in this one lads!

thomond2006 · 11-10-2019 5:49pm

Not watching but 7-6 down despite copping a YC sounds good?

shootermacg · 11-10-2019 5:51pm

I think I'll die before I'll ever have a clue what that penalty is for.

ScrubsfanChris · 11-10-2019 5:54pm

Daly caught out there, have to trust your teammate inside to make the tackle.

Ref gave a penalty for god knows what, then at least 1 forward pass for the cheetah's try.

shootermacg · 11-10-2019 6:00pm

9 - 12 at half time. Brilliant pacing by Munster.

ScrubsfanChris · 11-10-2019 6:01pm

I'd take 12-9 at half time.
If we can keep the penalty count down there is a win for the taking here.

shootermacg · 11-10-2019 6:02pm

I'd be dropping bombs on their back 3 all next half.

yerrahbah · 11-10-2019 6:03pm

Targeting the back 3 well.
Good performance so far

leakyboots · 11-10-2019 6:04pm

Loving our backplay, offloading and a bit of variety in attack is what has been missing. Very early days but you can see what they're trying to do. Marry that with our standard of forward play and that'll move us up a level this season

shootermacg · 11-10-2019 6:06pm

Mike Haley can certainly tackle.

I actually like them, they’re positive and will call out good play from both sides

budhabob · 11-10-2019 6:16pm

Great pressure from sweets there

budhabob · 11-10-2019 6:18pm

Feck, that was some turnover and pressure by the cheetahs.

19-9

ScrubsfanChris · 11-10-2019 6:20pm

Decided not to play our game and look what happens

leakyboots · 11-10-2019 6:23pm

Not too impressed by Nick McCarthy

Edit: subbed at 49 mins

budhabob · 11-10-2019 6:24pm

Jaysus, scrum absolutely demolished there.

shootermacg · 11-10-2019 6:25pm

That must be driving up! archer's legs actually left the ground in that scrum!

ScrubsfanChris · 11-10-2019 6:26pm

Front row needs replacing, minced in the scrum

Akrasia · 11-10-2019 6:28pm

Someone please tell the commentator that the red army refers to the Soviet Military or the Munster Fans, but not the players on the pitch

shootermacg · 11-10-2019 6:32pm

Cronin coming in with a twinkle in his eye. Expect 5 penalties and a yellow card in 3....2..

PetKing · 11-10-2019 6:32pm

Awful defending there.

Akrasia · 11-10-2019 6:33pm

Referee decided Munster slowed the game in the first half so now he’s decided to not police the breakdown at all

ScrubsfanChris · 11-10-2019 6:33pm

Discipline is atrocious

yerrahbah · 11-10-2019 6:36pm

Could get ugly

budhabob · 11-10-2019 6:40pm

Decent response from Munster, need some points from this though.

budhabob · 11-10-2019 6:41pm

Don't know how that was against Cronin?

PetKing · 11-10-2019 6:41pm

Their tighthead put his legs back and went down.

schmoo2k · 11-10-2019 6:42pm

Lost bind I suspect

ScrubsfanChris · 11-10-2019 6:42pm

I will never understand that penalty why on earth would the attacking team want to pull down the scrum?

schmoo2k · 11-10-2019 6:43pm

Running out of time - need some points...

budhabob · 11-10-2019 6:44pm

Forward pass in the lead up to that I think?

ScrubsfanChris · 11-10-2019 6:46pm

Commentators really tuned into whats happening in the game

leakyboots · 11-10-2019 6:47pm

Should have kept McCarthy on, we've gone to pot since he went off!

Akrasia · 11-10-2019 6:47pm

“They love it in the stands” as the home crowd boo the referee for not allowing the try

leakyboots · 11-10-2019 6:48pm

"Definitely the tallest Man on the pitch... 2.09 centimetres tall"

"Outstanding numbers"

schmoo2k · 11-10-2019 6:51pm

plenty of blocking going on...

razorblunt · 11-10-2019 6:51pm

Off the feet from Cheetahs at the ruck and incredibly dangerous right in front of it, looks down at the player lying 4 feet past the ruck and does nothing.

leakyboots · 11-10-2019 6:52pm

Whatever about the ref and some dodgy calls, Cheetahs are really putting up some scores this season. They've been the better team, especially this half. Good for the league.

My optimism at half time has evaporated!
