New Munster chat thread folks. warning deserved there. https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=109477571#post109477571
Mistake by Scannell there. Fekitoa did really well on scramble when we were narrow tho.
Some really great stuff there. Unlucky not to get over.
Will be interesting to see how long their THP can last in the second half, and who comes on for him. Comical appearance aside, he has been brilliant for them in this half (4 penalties? 5?).
Their THP has legit been the best player on the pitch through the first 47 mins here!
Patterson is a gem, some find for us this season!
The Munster scrum is being absolutely minced here, I'd genuinely don't know how you think they've been unlucky. Going backward at a rate of knots in a few of them, Lions unlucky on a few occasions not to have more penalties (and potentially one PT).
Josh Wycherley doesn't look ready for this level yet when you see him scrummage.
Munster on top in all other aspects, and Patterson, Kleyn and Haley in particular have been good.
Lions had been defending so well but that's awful
Great eye from Patterson
Quality from Patterson. Spotted the gap and mismatch with a lock and their TH up against him.
Man of the fuukin match
please
He's having a really good game alright.
Healy is the first choice now. He just signed a three year IRFU central contract and the last five days have been a giant episode of Punk'd. They had Ashton Kutcher on TG4 at half time.
Kleyn continues to impress. An absolute shame he'll more than likely never wear green again.
That was a very long pause after the bind. She seems to change the duration every time.
Probably deserved more than the couple of caps he got (and definitely deserved better than some of the reaction he got) but has absolutely never let Munster down.
Still only 29 so not old by lock standards, and has improved his handling, so you never know, but I’d say it’s unlikely alright.
Stupid question, but rather than sir, what do the players address Hollie as?
Gavin Coombes is pretty useful as a defensive lineout jumper, not often seen in that role but has disrupted the Lions lineout nicely tonight.
I think I've heard some of the Saffer's calling her "Ma'am", whereas I've heard JOD calling her Hollie on a few occasions so far.
Still showing some super defensive linespeed this late in the game.
Hodnett has some strength. He doesnt look the biggest but seems to be able to break tackles at will.
A wee bonnie lass?
Like a pinball, bounces off tackles. Had a super game
Ah Jack O'sulllivan is back, I thought he was out for the season.
Super try. Had a tidy game up to that, but that’s a brilliant finish. Feel like we’ve deserved that.
Coombes wouldn't have scored that if he was carrying another 10kg ;)
He was actually back on the bench for the Ulster game, but was unused.
Agreed though, when he got hurt in the Aviva it looked like a season ending injury.
And Kutcher is.... the third choice 10 at Edinburgh?
Am I correct in thinking that was an entire game without TMO?
Fun game. Good to see some of the younger guys play well like Buckley, Salanoa, Hodnett, Kendellen, Patterson, etc. Fekitoa was impressive too, particularly in defense.
We could really do with some of the second row injuries clearing up, it is having an effect on our scrummaging.
Ref had a great game. Let the game flow
Great win in bad weather! Weathered the storm in the first half into the wind. We defended the Lions comfortably enough over the course of the game. Scrum was a disaster though and we should have seen a YC at some stage. Hollie was kind to us that way. Back 5 of the pack were excellent, Hodnett the pick of them. Healy went well enough too, he's no world beater but there's a touch of Ross Byrne about him. You'd have no issue trusting him in a big game but he's not a game breaker. I'm more worried about John Ryan leaving, he's our best scrummager by a long way.
Only 3 tries against in 4 games, that's some good stuff.
