    Munster are looking very Poor

    Only six points difference. Plenty of time yet.

    Ronan is struggling though.

    With the exception of the fumble at the start ronan has been the best back rower. He looks like he has had more carries anyway.

    Its not Football where Playing,, Ok it was a push but no need for the act..

    Im sure every one who played rugby got more then a push in a match..

    He was pushed into advertising hoardings, anyone who, eh, has worked with advertising hoardings will know how sore that is.

    Yer man's acting was worse than the push I thought.

    Thought that too, but on replay there was nothing in it.

    It was a bit overly dramatic (the face holding) but still don't think Mafi should have pushed him

    You have to hand it to Munster there and Howlett did really well.To be honest, hard to believe Munster are leading.

    That scoreline flatters us. We were not the better team in that half.

    Never has a team been so lucky to be ahead at half-time. Munster got really lucky scrum calls and there was a knock on for the try.

    Oooof! Massive swing in the last couple of minutes there. From a disastor and backs against the wall, Munster now sieze control.

    Should make for an interesting second half, how will Northampton respond?

    Seems like Munster have been hanging on by their finger nails, but some good bounces of the ball when they needed it, I think they were lucky to get the penalty, but knock-on or no knock-on, that was a great try. Northampton were already in the dressing room.

    Considering how poor that they have been, it is a bit crazy. They have had a disallowed try (forward) and a very close call (no downward pressure) though, so not too unexpected either

    I am sure Hitting the Ground Running would be Harder then what he felt when he was pushed into the boards

    Ùnreal Try by Howlett!

    Got away with a Varley knock on and a sneaky Barnes nudge to give Dougie the space.

    Lucky but we have deserved that!

    I don't know what that means.


    Great first half of rugby, Munster haven't been top form, but great last 10 there.
    O Connell excellent.
    Think Northampton are a tough team though and might have something to say before the end.
    They've been unlucky with a few things like the bounce out and the scrum penalties.

    First kick for their try was poor, other than that he's been excellent.

    1,000     :D

    True but he's put in some good box kicks apart from that. He really has the complete package when he's on form
