New Munster chat thread folks. warning deserved there. https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=109477571#post109477571
THat looks an ACL for Casey. Totally innocuous, reminds me.of Jordi Murphy in Chicago in 2016
That looks like a bad enough knee injury for Casey. This is terrible news, he was doing very well in what little he was involved in. Some great kicking.
Ah Jaysus, hope it’s not serious for Casey, knee?
Casey off is a huge blow
The tone was set when Crowley missed touch from the penalty in the opening minute. Shameful performance so far, riddled with mistakes all over the field, aimless stuff. Absolutely awful.
not as bad as that conversion attempt though…
Thats awful from munster
As bad as Crowley has ever been
CRowley having a shocker
Castres have had two pens against them for late or off the ball tackles.
I mean more that it is insane that Munster weren't warned alone. There is no way they are on the same level of infringing at this point.
Crowley all over the place
Break in play so it's better then stopping the game specifically to do.it
Munster need a kick up the h**e. Shocking so far
Absolutely bizarre to me that the ref gave a warning to both teams about penalties after that tackle.
BLueler should be off permanently now
Penalties killing us, lucky to be at 15
20 in & only down 5...Will take it for now, longer it stays like this the more frustrated Castres will get
I think Munster will be pretty pleased to be only 5-0 down after 18 mins given their performance to be honest. But good lord, they are bad.
Absolute debacle of a first 15 minutes. A litany of mistakes.
Horror show by Munster so far
Archer should have been binned for the second high tackle.
Very lucky.
Not scored though and that's the main thing.
Munster have started very slow, castre have come out of the blocks quickly
Casey’s box kick clearing has gotten so good. Got to half way there.
Long.
You'll be surprised to hear that he's only had one red* since he moved to France - when he was playing for Brive against Connacht two years ago. For old times sake, you know :)
*And it was overturned by the disciplinary committee on review.
Yes! The 2027 6N!

Is Felix coming down to give us a dig out til the 6Nations are over🤔??
I know that just saying we are really really reliant on Crowley, Scannell hasn't faired much better tbh
Well you won't have to worry about Burns coming on tonight!
Hard to call the game 2nite
Obviously 4 pts would be savage, if we got one we'd be OK too I think, can't see 4 tries against them
All depends how Castres turn up Goodhue and Palis have plenty to hurt us badly
We have a he'll of alot of eggs in the 10 basket tho, my heart sank a little when Burns came on last Sat
Looking forward to see how we go & hope the upward trajectory continues
