    Probably a fair result. Disappointing to miss the drop Goal but the conversion for Conways try was exceptional.

    Brilliant game though, absolute battle. Munster SO determined at home.

    Haley a good shout for motm.

    Once Matheson came on our game completely changed. Pity about the drop goal but a draw is better than the loss

    Jesus just give the ball to Mike Haley off the restarts. He actually kicked a ball from his 22 into their 22.

    Draw does us no favors, but we're still alive.

    Said it before, his left side pass has a limited range, he struggles to get power behind the ball.

    Do you mean as he passes from his left hand to the right hand side of the pitch?

    I think it's a tough ask from here for Munster. Need something away to Saracens and/or Racing really. The BP last weekend could end up crucial.

    The pool isn't gone yet. Had Munster lost it probably was.

    He had to attempt the drop from there at that point, but it was an awful attempt by JJ!

    What's the chance sarries play their full team against us

    Pool far from done, Munster will win away to Ospreys. Sarries will be out by the time ye travel there and they'll happily oblige with a second string team. Still no guarantee but it's the type of game where experienced European operators like Munster can put down a marker.

    Racing away will likely be the difference between a home quarter and travelling.

    This pool is far, far more open than anyone could have predicted - the sanction against Sarries is entirely game changing.

    I'll never blame a guy for missing a drop goal. He had the balls to take it on and that's all I will remember about it.

    Going to have to win away to Sarries or Racing now in all likelihood

    What an odd attitude. This is top level of rugby and there's not really much excuse for missing from there by an outhalf.

    Can't help but agree. I can't remember the game - but I remember Stephen Jones absolutely bottling out of taking a drop goal and costing his team and it's neither the first nor the last time a kicker has opted out of that responsibility.

    That said - as opportunities go, it was about as set up for JJ as you can get. The reason I'd be inclined to give him a pass was because of the conversion he took a few moments earlier from the touchline. Serious pressure and struck it cleanly.

    He was eclipsed by some of the incredible skill displayed by Russell, but I thought he had a fairly good outing.

    Well done again Munster, at 60 minutes I thought your season was about to hit a brick wall but holding your own during Racings purple patch and then fighting back for the draw is very impressive.

    With all the injuries you could be a very different proposition by the knock outs.

    Hate to say it but a bit of a bottlejob by Jj . It’s a very straightforward drop . He’ll be slotting that 10 out of 10 in training

    Decent result for us and dropping 2/3 points is not bad giving our tough group

    Sarries and Racing away are going to be so hard. Do everything in our power to beat Saracens in Thomond but again will be very tough

    After 100 minutes of play in a game that physical and the adrenaline of just getting a tough needed kick. You don't play a lot of sport I take it.

    Have to agree, at that range it should have been on target.

    It was a sitter. Good players score those JJ.
    But I wouldnt blame him either - thats jut his level. Of course he had to start, and he might even have got it. But he is not really ERC winning standard.
