There isn't a lot of development selections in that Munster pack. It's not a great sign that Ryan and Archer are both in the 23 when Knox and Salanoa are available and desperate for minutes. A number of players who are leaving / most likely leaving are in the starting lineup.

Dan Goggin gets another start in the centre alongside our top three wingers in Daly, Conway and Earls to come off the bench. Casey starting at 9 with Murray getting a rest.

What's the point in having Larkham coaching the backs if we never use them? Even on penalty advantage its just truck it up with the forwards. So frustrating...

They can though tolouse was fast ball to deep runners and the big centers running hard it's happened 2 or 3 times this year and then we go back to slow truck it up ball.

Squidgy Black

Wooten really needed to commit to his tackle as well rather than trying to anticipate the step

realhorrorshow

Jesus Christ Arnold shat the bag there woeful stuff.

Clegg

That's shocking from Sammy Arnold.

Peter O'Mahony should not be sidestepping a player on the outside.

Shaka Hislop

Wing play from POM

eigrod

Brilliant try. POM wow.

Utopia Parkway

How did Arnold miss that tackle? That was dreadful. Can’t let POM escape there. He’s not Cheslin Kolbe.

Squidgy Black

That's such a lucky bounce for Murray, brutal kick

I hope not but I reckon Munster will nick this,
Connacht looking tired.

razorblunt

As night follows day Carty will kick it out on the full.

Utopia Parkway

Fitzgerald kicks out on the full and now Carty does. Giving Munster plenty of chances anyway.

razorblunt

Pace has dropped off so much with Murray, Connacht repeatedly able to reset. Playing right into their hands.

Thrashssacre

Though one of the Connacht defendera took a serious elbow to the face suprised it wasn't looked at.

theVersatile

Did the linesman not say there that all Green were offside - did Jones just ignore that? Or was it a player on ref mic?

razorblunt

Spending far too long in the forwards again.
DDA was screaming for it phases earlier, Goggin was just standing next to him watching Murray.

A-Train

That’s a great turnover by Connacht after living on the edge

macslash

That's the best defensive effort from us I've seen in a long long time

No the ref said the subs started it so he can't punish them. Stander said why not it's a perfectly reasonable response

It's the exact same situation. Player each side started it and the other subs piled in. Stander is playing gob****e there and he knows it regardless of what the ref said before a video review

Excellent work by Marmion in last five, nailed Stander with great hit off first scrum and then crucial rob there.

The tackle on the first scrum was brilliant, stander had as clean and easy pickup as he’d have all season and was still chopped down.

Shaka Hislop

Jesus...a full back with lube on his hands
