    Great to see Munster mauling again, it's got Axel Foley written all over it.

    16-7, ROG penalty.

    Munster should really hockey this Castres side.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,848 ✭✭✭bleg


    Some steal from O Connell there.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 35,514 ✭✭✭✭efb


    Well done Paully


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,592 ✭✭✭GerM


    Excellent from POC but, as was the case in the last 15 minutes against Scarlets, Munster seem vulnerable through the middle.

    Poor pass to Zebo.

    Anyone else have a real jumpy picture on sky

    Earls seems to be limping

    Earls limping there...

    Munsters backplay is absolute rubbish. Holland needs to go and Munster need to find a competent backs coach.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,978 ✭✭✭✭irishbucsfan


    Munster making this team look a lot better than they are.

    What happens when they bring on some first team players?

    Munster pack has been superior, would like to see more from O'Mahoney though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,145 ✭✭✭Benny Cake


    Ordinary enough from Munster, quite poor in protecting the ball at the breakdown, we need to commit more numbers or we won't score 1 more try let alone 3!

    Eddie O Sullivan!

    Wouldn't worry, very similar against Northampton and they capitulated. Once Castres' legs get heavy they won't be interested and I can see the BP coming in the last ten minutes. They're going to need it the way things are shaping up but I've full confidence in them.

    It's tough to do much out wide when Mafi and Earls are your centers though.

    POC's a freak, some performance from him today!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,978 ✭✭✭✭irishbucsfan


    If Castres fancy it they might bring on guys like Murray, Kockott and Bai in the2nd half and really have a crack at Munster. I would still expect Munster to win this though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,848 ✭✭✭bleg


    DOC back to his penalty machine best.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,433 ✭✭✭✭thomond2006


    Another poor pass to Zebo from Earls, ffs Kidney are you watching this?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 597 ✭✭✭yeraulone


    pass it earls ffs

    Yeah I've seen him throw a few passes much too high in the last couple of matches.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,848 ✭✭✭bleg


    Mafi can't or won't pass.

    I take it back earls, dont pass it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,592 ✭✭✭GerM


    That's awful from Earls. Playing him in centre destroys his confidence. Him getting the ball on the wing in that position in his 22 and he'd run at them and scare the hell out of teams. Instead he's trying to draw and pass which is not natural to him whatsoever.

    That's at least three shocking passes from Earls. One above Zebo's head, one along the ground behind him, and another along the ground in front of him. In only one of them was he under real pressure when making the pass. So much attacking play is breaking down when Earls has to pass.

    Very worrying for the six nations.
