    I really want him to succeed, he has so many great qualities especially given how Ireland play.

    Move to Munster has been an error though, not because on the face of it, it was a bad idea - its just he'd have gotten far better coaching in Leinster and I think he'd have a lot more to his game.

    Ah Jesus lads, four on one overlap with only a FB covering - that's always a yellow.

    Also, if ye think Frank is biased towards Munster based off this penalty count, then I don't think Frank is the one with the tinted glasses.

    I immediately thought yellow as soon as I saw it. It’s one of those unfortunate ones where it’s just a natural reaction, but it’s definitely a yellow.

    Munster will be disappointed with that half anyways, you’d imagine. Good game of rugby tho.

    Lads, I'm at work, so not watching. I'm curious as to how Clarkson is going?

    Think Murphy has been alright? He's calling the right penalties, not his fault both teams are infringing. That was a 4 on 1 overlap, potential try. Yellow all day

    Pleased enough with that first half. The opening 5 minutes was excellent, but for the next 15 it looked like Munster would turn the screw and pull away. That didn't happen and Leinster took their second try excellently. Joe McCarthy and Scott Penny are having super games.

    Munster have the stronger side which shows in the possession and carrying stats. They're monopolising the ball. But they aren't playing in the right areas and keep coughing up possession. If they can cut out the mistakes I'd expect them to win.

    Murray really needs to shut up with his complaints to the ref and play the ball in front of him he’s at it repeatedly out there.

    First half was more than Leinster possibly could have expected, with the non-card for Kleyn and the outrageous card for Russell Frank has nailed his colours to the mast and simply will not allow Leinster win. Hope our young lads don't get too disillusioned with the sport after this.

    Munster won a scrum free kick off him earlier in the half, but seems tho be doing ok otherwise is my take anyways.

    From that far out? It didn't look deliberate either, just a sloppy tackle. I thought he was very quick making his mind up that it was a yellow.

    I don't buy in to ref's being biased and I think he's been fair so far, I just think that was a really bad call.

    Watching a stream from super sports in South Africa here. Not even bothering to learn the names , “the redhead takes it to the line”, “good offload from the blonde guy”!

    Match thread silliness aside, that's deep in Munsters territory and not something you would say was close to try scoring. I've no issue calling it when Leinster infringe and have done so multiple times in this thread, but that's not a typical yellow in my book.

    Former Munster player in giving ridiculous yellow card to other team shocker. Leinster 10ths will still overcome this great injustice to win by 10+

    And Kendellens dangerous clearout on Cronin, presume certain people will be as outraged as they were about Toner

    Nope, Munster have never committed an act of foul play. Ever.

    Jaysus.

    That high ball has been the most successful Munster tactic today. Just can't deal with them.

    Ignore the obvious nonsense, engage with the good faith stuff.

    Unless the nonsense is really really funny.

    That was ridiculous.

    Calls tackle release. Munster rip it then, "play on!"

    "Tackle release"

    doesn't release

    "Play on"


    Does Frank have any integrity?

    Josh Murphy is on his knees, the referee tells Munster to release, they rip the ball out illegally.

    Play on.

    Excellent rip by Ahern, shame it was called back.

    niall Scannell seems to be regressing at a rate of knots.

    Ffs. That was identical the taking the 9 he didn't give when foley got scragged 2 minutes ago.


    To be clear, I think both should have been given!
