**** Connacht well on top atm

razorblunt · 14-05-2021 06:34PM

Oliver completely off feet at the ruck, the rolls in from the side to join it.

I have only seen him at six times but Fitzgerald has really impressed me in every area of his game.
Is he a future international? I'd like to see him get an opportunity

ClanofLams · 14-05-2021 06:35PM

Looked like Porch might run that in for try, if so ref should surely let something that tight go and review then.

Shaka Hislop · 14-05-2021 06:36PM

. about time he's given a scrum penalty

Not sure to be honest. Could be a decent European player hopefully

Fully agree, you have replay to look at it afterwards. Look like it went backwards out if Wooton's hand.

Connacht will do well to win this with the scrum going so badly.

Utopia Parkway · 14-05-2021 06:40PM

Guaranteed try there. Connacht’s maul defence has been absolutely horrendous all season.

Shaka Hislop · 14-05-2021 06:40PM

Like a knife thru butter there.

yerrahbah · 14-05-2021 06:40PM

Connacht could challenge that.
Holland offside at that L/O

theVersatile · 14-05-2021 06:40PM

Connacht pack is soft - if Munster keep the penalty count low in the second half then they'll comfortably win

freyners · 14-05-2021 06:41PM

Billy Holland literally a foot ahead of O'Mahony setting that maul

its_phil · 14-05-2021 06:42PM

Fairly clear blocking off from Holland there. Should have been a penalty out

theVersatile · 14-05-2021 06:46PM

Such a clear changing of the line to block Conway - Jones not fond of giving Munster penalties outside of scrum time.

And oof, not great to be subbed off before HT

Utopia Parkway · 14-05-2021 06:46PM

Connacht change both props and scrum is immediately solid.

If he didn’t call forward pass on a ball that looked back it would have been 24-7 so prob not wise to complain too much.

Well yes but it's hard to defend a blatantly illegal maul 5 metres out.

Pretty sure the ball was still in the ruck when wootton picked it up that time so I'm calling that one even.

I don't understand why he doesn't let the play continue and review the forward pass when the try is scored removes any chance of a mistake on what is a marginal call at best.

yerrahbah · 14-05-2021 06:51PM

Casey impressive for Munster.

Gifted Connacht a try.

Need to improve the discipline.

The wind and the bench will tell a lot

realhorrorshow · 14-05-2021 06:52PM

Decent game, we're looking great in phase play, shame about the set piece. Prendergast and Fitzgerald looking really good, Casey has been very sharp on the other side.

razorblunt · 14-05-2021 06:52PM

The ref has been a bit whistle happy against Munster so it’s strange to see him not call that at the lineout.

aloooof · 14-05-2021 06:54PM

Conor Fitz has been the best player on the park for me, having an very good game indeed. Casey as well being his usual busy self.

Munster on top in the scrum and tight. Connacht maul d at times better than I'd have hoped for. They do play a brand of rugby of rugby that's nice to watch tho.

aloooof · 14-05-2021 06:55PM

Also, not the first time this season we've had issues from the kick off... some excuse this time with JOD coming back from treatment, but really need to tighten that up.

14-05-2021 07:01PM

Stupid by Marmion healy barely touched him

razorblunt · 14-05-2021 07:01PM

I tell you what if Healy slid with his knees on Marmion then he deserves that response.

On replay he didn’t at all.

Utopia Parkway · 14-05-2021 07:01PM

Looks like Marmion thought Healy slid his knees into him but didn’t look like he did really.

The knee slide on the tryscorer is one of my biggest pet peeves but there was nothing at all in that.

Awwww Fitzy
