Healy and Sexton. Fragile

First showing from Ringrose in this game. Excellent run.

He went to wrap but he didn't wrap at all. The kick on the full gave the referee an easy call.

It was blatant no arms.

Well that's something

And? Once he went to wrap, then the claim of blatant no arms tackle is nonsense

guapos · 23-01-2021 9:09pm

Brace needs to speed up the line out, attaching team slowing it down

gally74 · 23-01-2021 9:09pm

Sexton is not captain material

I think that was worst decision of all. He is going to be way off the pace and all the more reason for a Munster win

Clegg · 23-01-2021 9:10pm

Lads Henshaw has been brilliant in attack this evening. Beating the first man often.

Excellent carry and kicking option from Larmour. Won us a 5m scrum from Munsters line.

degsie · 23-01-2021 9:10pm

A glimpse of the old Larmour

You might want to look up what blatant actually means. The ref and tmo disagree with you along with everyone who saw the replay

Clegg · 23-01-2021 9:13pm

We're missing the cheat code of popping the ball to Lowe 5m out and him finishing despite have three defenders in front of him.

normanbond · 23-01-2021 9:13pm

Hard to listen to the Eir sport commentators. Both are getting a hard on for every Leinster move, yet 10 - 3 down. There’s only one team for this pair of dicks!

He had big numbers outside him on first look.

23-01-2021 9:13pm

That was a complete waste of an advantage - forwards were rolling there.

MaddChris · 23-01-2021 9:13pm

Sextons hair cut is like someone who's just found out they've got lice.

The Inbetween is mine · 23-01-2021 9:13pm

A big psychological boost to Munster if they stop this here

Naw, I saw the replay and I disagree. He tried and failed to wrap.

Blatant hyperbole. :pac:

Buer · 23-01-2021 9:15pm

Outcome here will have a massive impact. If Munster come away without conceding, they'll take a huge boost and the opposite for Leinster.

Clegg · 23-01-2021 9:15pm

You'd have to wonder what the problem is with Leinsters lineout. Malfunctions far too often in key areas.

hold my beer · 23-01-2021 9:16pm

Leinster trying to outMunster Munster

vienne86 · 23-01-2021 9:17pm

That's shocking for Leinster to come away with nothing there.

The Inbetween is mine · 23-01-2021 9:17pm

Marshall stopped that with Beirne

leakyboots · 23-01-2021 9:17pm

Great stuff there. Leinster didn't back their own lineout

Clegg · 23-01-2021 9:18pm

Beirne steals the ball despite not supporting his own weight. Leinsters errors are hard to take as a fan, but when the ref misses something blatant like that it just makes it worse.

ElisaAtWar · 23-01-2021 9:19pm

What a stupid decision. Played to Munster strength

guapos · 23-01-2021 9:19pm

"Use it"

8 seconds later Murray picks it up

Just going to say it. No way was he supporting himself.

CJ winding up Fardy, love it!

degsie · 23-01-2021 9:20pm

This is Munsters game for sure

Clegg · 23-01-2021 9:21pm

Ryan is playing his way back into form. Good to see.

You are exactly the type that whinges when Lowe does it...

The Inbetween is mine · 23-01-2021 9:22pm

Stupid from Doris

Former Former Former · 23-01-2021 9:23pm

That's so cheap from Doris. No danger and he's just given an easy three away.

Edit : not three but still

Clegg · 23-01-2021 9:23pm

That's stupid from Doris. Both sides been pretty even this half but not reflected on the scoreboard.

Problem for Leinster is they usually finish the first half strongly and take that into the start of the second. See a lot of trys through that. But this evening they haven't been able to convert pressure to points.

Clegg · 23-01-2021 9:25pm

Think Marshall is lucky not to get a card there.

Clearly slide tackles Henshaw.

And the ref gave out to Henshaw for shouting at him ffs

23-01-2021 9:26pm

I know it got called but how does he admit to missing that ? he's blind

Defo should be a card

Buer · 23-01-2021 9:27pm

Not a hope it's a card, lads. When has anyone ever got a card for that?

Former Former Former · 23-01-2021 9:27pm

Lads Rhys Marshall is an awful player. Who the hell are Ireland going to pick at 2 in the 6N?

Clegg · 23-01-2021 9:27pm

James Cronin's appalling discipline is keeping Leinster in this game.

Larbre34 · 23-01-2021 9:28pm

I don't think so.

Its a fascinating contest, in fact the first half has had what feels like 80 minutes of action.

But Leinster have a superior bench and greater ability to move through the gears. I expect them to take it by 5 to 10.

Its a complete systems issue as big issues have come up regardless of what players have been on the pitch

He was perfectly fine to turn over.
Ref needs to watch James Ryan and all his crawling on ground trying to get extra yards. Blatantly done it 2/3 times already

It may be in law that its 5 seconds but no ref will ever call it after 5.

leakyboots · 23-01-2021 9:28pm

Points swing there, could be important

As he should, back talk to the ref has no place in rugby.

A-Train · 23-01-2021 9:28pm

A good way to finish that half. Well worked up the pitch by Leinster to get in a scoring position.

I don't know about keeping Leinster in the game. First 15 minutes were all Munster for sure, but it's been all Leinster since then - we've just struggled to translate it into points.
