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 do you mean you can't penalize the subs? Like they can do whatever they want

Think he's well wrong there tbh

Munster subs didn't start that marmion did. Ref said the subs started this one

razorblunt

What was JOD even doing there? Brain dead stuff.

realhorrorshow

What was O'Donoghue at there doesn't get any more blatant than that.

Jack o Donohue started that one very clearly

razorblunt

If you’re a sub you’ve got immunity it seems.

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

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

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.

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

razorblunt

Some kick, he landed that over the dead ball line.

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

the ref should have gone to the munster bench and red carded them all for the niggle after the marmions try so .....

Ya he should have but that's not the point he thought that the connaght bench STARTED it and said there for ye can't do anything that's a.compeatly different situation and just wrong I don't understand how ye can't get that

Ya I know the ref was wrong. The other chaos not joking. Anyway tis the past now

macslash

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

A-Train

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

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.

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?

Thrashssacre

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

razorblunt

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

Utopia Parkway

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

razorblunt

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

HBC08

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

pappyodaniel

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...
