    Lots of side entries to rucks.
    Murray is just so slow.

    Itoje seems to be invisible

    Never been in Thomond before where I've heard the rain bounce off the stands... Horrendous conditions here.

    Those blocked box kicks have been there all day. Poor from Murray

    It's not good but the conditions are horrendous. Saracens far from full strength but they've a side out that would win a lot of premiership matches without a doubt.
    It's just become a very difficult match to watch

    Biblical rain coming down now. Have to laugh at people on about the attendance, biggest one this season and over capacity

    Christ this is hard work.

    Saracens are absolutely dreadful. On a dry day Munster would be hockeying them.

    Murray is as slow as a wet weak, I don’t think McCarthy is much faster.
    Need an insurance score .

    Sarries must have won the toss, play into the wind in the first half and then have Munster into the wind and an orange alert in the second. I'd take a four nil win now

    Itoje’s penalties given vs what he’s actually doing most be a low, low ratio.

    Mental call from the TMO to leave it that late and not call it at the time!

    TMO has been poor. He waved away the Itoje incident and left this until time up.

    Moron is harsh. Easy to say from the couch.

    Beautiful steal. If the Sarries players counter rucked instead of all shouting for a penalty they might have turned Murray over.

    I thought Paul Grayson was great on comms.
    BT asking for MOTM about 5 minutes after riot was announced in the stadium.

    Awful match but in those conditions I don't think a BP was on the cards.

    Absolutely would have taken that at the start of the season. Pressure was on Munster there, Saracens travelled with no pressure nor expectations.

    Lot of work to be done however.

    Glad that’s over. Brutal stuff really but conditions in second half dictated that.

    First half performance wasn’t good enough. Needed to be clinical in that first 20 minutes and weren’t.

    Could see signs in that first half that we are getting better in attack but then we go back to just one off static runners.

    The win is good but needed to deny them a bonus point

    I could stand on my head and say it but it wouldn't change the fact. Lazy and clumsy technique and the clock in the red.

    Draw against Racing at home and win against Saracens but failed to prevent them from getting the bonus point, in the bigger picture if I was a betting man I would bet against Munster getting out of this group.

    Jerry Flannery is a guest on BT TV, I cannot believe how much he's shrunk.

    Series were muck the second half. Didn't use the conditions at all.
    Munster did very well in those conditions. Just a pity they couldn't stop Sarries bonus point.
