Munster v Leinster Build Up Thread

How can De Allende not be ready for a pass there?

KrustyUCC · 23-01-2021 10:29PM

Munster have some mental blocks with Leinster

Shocking loss

Basic skills gone to pot under pressure

5 in a row lost

Go back to Hanrahan and it would have been a draw

degsie · 23-01-2021 10:29PM

Good game!

A-Train · 23-01-2021 10:29PM

Yes get in. Not a great performance, attack very blunt bar 1 movement, kicking game not great but found a way to win.

Green farmer · 23-01-2021 10:29PM

Frustrating , JJs miss in front of posts.

vetinari · 23-01-2021 10:29PM

Brutal performance from Munster. Lost all nerve after a good start

Well done Leinster...held on when Munster were battering away, and managed to get the try at the perfect time

PTH2009 · 23-01-2021 10:30PM

Balls

Munster can never hold them when they have the lead. Well done Leinster anyway

Ryan has been brilliant this evening.

Lineout steals and metres in the carry are notable, but there was a moment at around the 60 minutes mark that really summed up his contribution. Jack O'Donoghue was just on as a sub and got the ball with a bit of space ahead of him. Ryan quickly adjusts his line, chases him down and makes the tackle to stop his progress. He'd worked hard all game but still had the energy to chase down a fresher, faster man.

Frustrating Leinster messing up twice on the Munster tryline...

Larbre34 · 23-01-2021 10:30PM

Great result for Leinster, one foot in the final.

Munster will have that to try and make amends.

Dave_The_Sheep · 23-01-2021 10:30PM

Not going to lie, that's a pretty satisfying win.

Positives for Ireland, Murray, Henshaw, Ryan and Larmour looking to be coming into some form. Beirne also decent.

Unless you're saying Jean Kleyn was better, then you're objectively wrong

MaddChris · 23-01-2021 10:31PM

Can that be the end of JJ please?
Keeps getting selected because he's one good game in every 7 or so. Zero consistency.

Also 6 lost line outs on your own throw is inexcusable.

leakyboots · 23-01-2021 10:32PM

Bit of a smash and grab, can't leave points off the board like we did, congrats to Les Bleus

23-01-2021 10:32PM

Beirne deserving of motm on account of the two big turnovers and try but thought Ryan put in a much more influential shift overall.

Murray and Henshaw both excellent, Henshaw outplaying his opposite number.

Score flatters Munster a bit tbh, Leinster left a lot of chances out there and Larmour's lack of match fitness really hurt us at times.

I really, really, really hope Reggie Corrigan is there with his microphone...

One might even speculate he played better than the MOTM...

Keenan, McGrath, Ryan and Henshaw leinsters best players.

If that happens Leinster will win

Munster just can't get the better of them

Definitely bogey side

5 in a row lost and barely any wins in the last 10 against Leinster

Clegg · 23-01-2021 10:32PM

Chris Farrell was very poor this evening. Stark difference between the performance of his centre partner and Henshaw.

That won't happen but it should

A professional player missing like that is inexcusable

Had a couple of great turnovers but was hit behind the gain line on two occasions by Ryan. Poor knock on too. Murray and Henshaw would have been my picks from each side. Henshaws carrying in traffic was excellent. Have to say, I wouldn’t be feeling too optimistic for Ireland in this 6Ns after that.

ElisaAtWar · 23-01-2021 10:33PM

My favorite expression about this game was from Toland. Girl who was 4 months pregnant had the right to be TMO. He is a class act. Honestly

Beirne giving out about the lineout. Bit of a nerve ...

Jesus he was now you say it.

I was expecting a huge challenge in the midfield and De Allende was off playing backrow while Farrell was anonymous.

Reactionary post alert!

We need to go with Healy at 10. Those kind of misses from JJ are inexcusable and they happen too often. That miss in front of the posts in the second half was an absolute killer. The kick off the posts was unlucky in fairness.

irishbucsfan · 23-01-2021 10:36PM

We do.. they always banging on about his kicking but other than a good game every once in a while he goes to **** when you need him most.
