    Munster are in trouble if Saracens keep accurately kicking at Haley.

    Wray and Itoje both off their feet clearing POM out, right in front of Graces, incredibly dangerous too

    Epic take by Conway.

    On the replay you can see TB help him out a good bit by getting in contact with Williams. Cleaver play and a great take

    How does Stander get away with that?

    Offside and off his feet.

    No it's not. Vunipola supports Folau. Folau is poison for the game. I hope he's booed out of the building.

    Owen Farrell playing on the edge as usual. Great hit.

    Haley loses another one.

    Yeah I can't understand anyone trying to support people booing players.

    Regardless of what he's done, which nobody agrees with him, booing a player is just poor taste.

    And him supporting a player who says gays will go to hell unless they repent isn't in poor taste?

    He made his bed, he deserves all the booing he gets.

    It's important for fans to make it clear his views are unacceptable.

    It'll die down in a few weeks but hopefully it makes a lasting impression on him.

    Saracens are winning the ball pretty much everytime they kick it.

    In poorer taste than saying gays are going to hell? Come of it. He's lucky to be playing imo.

    Munster's linespeed and 1v1 tackling is keeping them in this game.

    Sweetnam lucky the pass was poor there, he got pulled inside. Chris Farrell has been superb so far.

    Defending on the 5m line, instead of getting a scrum on the 22m line...

    Is there a reason why they decided to have it in Coventry?

    Munster impressive defensively, Saracens good on attack if not a little wasteful. Amazing from Haley.

    No neutral grounds available in London and the Ricoh is the largest rugby ground outside of London.

    Get the feeling the pressure will catch up to Munster in the second. I thought sweetnam was caught by Strettle high too. Nothing bad but would have been a handy penalty to alleviate the pressure.

    ...but how has this transferred to points on the board?

    Munster can also count themselves lucky for getting a turnover penalty in the 22.

    Can we not start this referee nonsense already? There's loads of time left.

    No idea unless they expected a bigger crowd. Something fundamentally wrong when you get 12 to 15k for semi final of a major competition regardless of where it's played.

    Munster making handy territory at the hinge. Just have to be careful with possession.

    It's the home ground of a premiership team which owns it.

    It's a rugby ground. Football is also played there as well.

    Chill out! I'm not blaming the ref for the score or anything. You can't say that missing a forward pass, which leads to a scrambled clearance from the 5 metre line isn't frustrating though.

    And I agree, they were lucky that CJ got that turnover.

    That was the first instance where Saracens didn't bring any linespeed in defence but Munster still looked very pedestrian.

    Sarries a bit more accurate and look like they've really done their homework on Munster. Teams pretty evenly matched otherwise, Sarries just more organised.

    If Munster can go into the break with a tie, they'll be very happy.

    They'll have the sun behind the in the second half.
