    Pretty sure CJ got it down for the try anyway. Should get the victory now at least.
    Poor performance though and lucky scarlets were rubbish

    I think it's matches won before points difference. We can't overtake Scarlets.

    How many times has the last person in the Scarlets line knocked on during a break?

    Not sure if it was a try tbh.

    The ball went forward, not sure if he hit if forward, before he gathered it and then grounded it. He definitely lost control of the ball in that move

    He had a hand on it while placing the ball, would have been harsh not to give it.

    yeah he regathered it and grounded it but he did lose control of the ball and it went forward.

    how it went forward I dunno but found it strange the TMO was so keen to give the try

    Scannell is really powerful. Good try.

    Top 2 teams in the league are Irish, 4 of the top 6 teams are Irish, some season for Irish teams even though we've been very poor all season.

    Dunno if you can say job done, more game over.

    Munster's biggest asset today was Lanelli's ability to feck up so often. If Lanelli had tightened up a few things they would have won handy. It was only in the last 5 or 10 mins when the game was over did it look like Munster could play.

    Oh absolutely. They shot themselves in the foot so often. Gifted us two tries thankfully

    The Scarlets played like we played for most of the season, get in great positions but mess up at the end and cough up some very soft points.

    I suppose you could say they 'out-Munstered Munster' in that department today...

    To be delighted that we finished sixth in the Pro-12 is such a strange and unusual way to finish a Season...

    It says more about the league than the state of the provinces.

    We should nearly bring back the inter provincials and scrap the league.

    And what have the top 3 interpros into the Not-The-Heineken Cup and the forth in Not-The-Parker-Pen Cup? This is the first year than the set qualifications have meant that teams haven't automatically qualified and I think it made for an exciting league, yes the quality of the league is miles behind the English and French leagues but I would imagine that the amount of home grown talent in the pro-12 is a lot higher than the other leagues which is better for the national teams in the long term.

    Certainly more so than the French league anyway.

    Poor enough game but we scored 5 tries to their 5 penalties. Murray said the first half lasted 55 mins, our fitness might have stood to us. I thought we might be in bother losing Scannell & TOD so early and having to defend so much. Zebo & possibly Murray might well have sat out yesterday's game if it wasn't a must win game, both were heavily strapped, I think Zebo even got additional strapping during the warm up and once again during the game.

    Our three subs for the backs were used thru' injury we also used two forwards to replace injured players. It looked like we might finished with 14 men when Holland went down late in the game.

    Huge relief for fans and players once that 4th try was scored and Saili's try was possibly try of the season. He did very well yesterday.
