No great surprises there for us, happy to see Zebo get on the bench.

JOD the youngest Munster player to make 150 caps for us.

Wasps didn't include Gopperth or Barbeary who I thought had us under a bit of pressure in the Ricoh in their home game.

Interesting to see that. I see they have Saracens next weekend at home in the Premiership so maybe they've one eye on that.

Henry Ford III · 21-01-2022 3:39pm

Both had knocks from last weekend.

Their halfbacks are very decent, but robson who knows how to make a break and play with good tempo is coming back from injury and Atkinson is a very good young player with huge potential but inexperienced and raw. If they click they will cause problems.

Munster need to start well, not allow wasps to score first and let them know early that beating munster in limerick is a hell of a lot harder than beating Toulouse in coventry.

The clash of Odogwu and farrell could be very interesting. The size difference should allow farrell try to offload in the tackle so hopefully we see good running lines off him, while he has to ensure that he goes low when he hits.

Don't think anyone changes their angle there ?

budhabob · 23-01-2022 4:20pm

Good strong pressure from Munster. Calm build up...looks like a try

Clegg · 23-01-2022 4:29pm

Haley shouldn't have kicked that. Had a three on one outside.

23-01-2022 4:32pm

Wasps are appalling.

lawrencesummers · 23-01-2022 4:33pm

BP by halftime

Dave_The_Sheep · 23-01-2022 4:36pm

Munster all over Wasps here.

TRC10 · 23-01-2022 4:37pm

Ben Healy has been absolutely wonderful so far

23-01-2022 4:37pm

Made it look easy but a very good take and plenty of work to get that over. Terrific try, Wasps utter gash though.

joedamuss · 23-01-2022 4:39pm

Healy's class, very unlucky to miss out on Irish squad

TRC10 · 23-01-2022 4:40pm

My god he's playing an absolute blinder.

iwasliedto · 23-01-2022 4:41pm

Munster should put 50 on this lot. Wasps look poor very.

nerd69 · 23-01-2022 4:41pm

Where's the lad that was calling healy dogshit and skinny fat last game he played

Crying over Connacht's latest bottle job

Clegg · 23-01-2022 4:49pm

Starting to wonder have Wasps done any analysis on Munster? They never thought to have anyone sweeping on the possibility of a Coombes carry from the base of the scrum.
