That's an awful kick

On the replay it was clear

Also got the elbow into McGrath chin..

The only consolation from this half for Leinster is that we've a very strong bench to call on.

No idea how we aren't at least 14 points ahead.

Ugly kick by Joey

Bit of a shank alright

Now it's Munster leaving points behind.

Subpopulus

Leinster missing their tries, Munster missing their kicks.

Coombes on fire, need a summer series to see what he can do in an Ireland shirt. Perfect replacement for CJ

A-Train

Leinster keeping Munster in this between not converting their pressure into points and giving away soft penalty after soft penalty

Clegg

Gone a bit under the radar but Joey is having a poor game in general. His kicking has been ropey from hand and the tee and he isn't taking the correct options when attacking ball in hand either.

Good man Joey

Level at HT

Jesus what is the point of TG4 having James Downey? Stating the obvious every few minutes

Ref missing heaps in the breakdown, players in from the side all over the place. Both teams going off their feet. Rhys Ruddock has yet to enter a ruck through the gate.

Agreed, both sides at it and “it” being all sorts of different infringements at the breakdown.
Ruddock came in at the side and tackled Cronin past the ruck so slowly that Cronin was able to chat to Adamson whilst slowly falling. Subtle!

That’s what you get with a ref who continuously has the looks of a nervous ref in every game he oversees.

The Iron Giant

Fairly bland game. Hope the second half picks up.

Referee is at sea. Infringements on both sides being missed.

Don't fancy Leinster box kicking into that wind with the heavy rain coming.

Teferi

Disappointing half for Leinster. We should be out of sight - we've left 2/3 scoring opportunities out there.

I think Munster's only visit to the Leinster 22 was the possession where Kearney turned over the ball.

Munster are lucky to be level here, but the 2nd half could be very different. There's definitely a path to victory for them.

No authority at all. Both teams are at it. POM hasn't been on his feet yet either when competing. Dev Toner cant stay on his feet when clearing out. Just a poor referring performance and the players are adapting and doing as they please in the ruck.

Hard to believe it's 6 all but whatever, Leinster clearly the better side. Hopefully kick on in the second half

Munster being lucky is another way of saying Leinster have been crap inside the opposition 22

Clegg

Would be ironic if the game Leinster lose to Munster is the one they've been utterly dominant in.

For 25 minutes. Crap execution but.

Get Sexton and Furlong on, start imposing on this shower.

I think Leinster will stick one of those breakaways and that will be that.

The Leinster bench will tell too.

Stop that non-show bring Connacht and Ulster! I prefer tag rugby to 6-all crash-into-the-line rugby.

Just begging for your one and only traditional linebreak per half (Keenan) is not enjoying rugby.

Well not just inside the 22 either, they're making mistakes all over.

Most teams give away the odd penalty but some of those passes to the wing with the line in sight were awful

Is it winning rugby?

No.

I take back my comment about Henshaw neck rolling Beirne early on, Tg4 showed it there as part of sár-imirt for Henshaw.

leakyboots

Kleyn having a huge game. Both our centres and Coombes too.

Henshaw and VdF are wreaking havoc for Leinster

Leinster should be further ahead by now if ROL could pass a ball off his left
