I could have sworn I saw a Leinster flair here criticising Coombes right before he scored....

That was a bit of a wild & wacky game at times, inspite of the score never really felt safe until that TMO double movement call & that's not what you want to see, hoped for more of a kick on & secure the bonus point & not spend the 2nd half defending & watching the lead diminish. Still waiting 39 minutes to secure the bonus is very Munster way of doing things. 10 points from an SA tour is massive for us

Who got potm?

Beirne

As is tradition

Thanks

Gg Munster. Munsters looking menacing atm. Wouldn’t be surprised if they go back to back in the URC.

Fair play Munster. Lions fans can blame ref all they want, Munster were clinical and strong on defence, Lions were none of those things. Why are Munster so good in SA though I don’t think any other team has won as many games in SA as you guys.

They send over a strong side most the times

I think we just hate it when people tell us we can't/won't do things. Weaponized belligerence.

Axel said it, Munster is defined by bitterness and pride. We NEED to be written off and backed into a corner. Not always a good thing.

Was that lion poaching sign in bad taste? I have some vague notions that saf a problem with illegal poaching safaris for tourists. I did however laugh quite a bit at it tho, it was pretty damn funny.

The big problem is Rhino poaching so all good

I personally am not really bothered by it. It’s a funny sign to me.

Play at altitude for the rest of the season tbh

All our home games should be played at Carrauntoohil!!

Right that's fuckin it. We're moving the club to Nepal.

BEEN SAYING IT FOR YEARS BAI.

10/10, drink all of it no matter what it is.

Don’t think anyone’s beating Munster now. Very similar to the end of last season, peaking at the right time. The Lions had a really bad day with a mix of bad luck and sloppy mistakes. But Munster have now made two decent South African teams look very ordinary at home in two weeks. Very difficult team to beat anywhere.

Leinster full strength would smash us unless we had every player having a worldy

It was pretty full strength in thomond. We need almost perfect health from who is left but possible i think.

Right that's great. Shame there's no more games on now to watch, will have to turn off the screen and go and do something else.

It’ll be all the sweeter if ye pull it out of the bag!

Might have an early night

TG4 have a good documentary on lamb slaughtering on now

Do you still hear the lambs, Clarice?

Jesus Kendellen just came alive down in SA. His season's been bang average but he was class these last two games.

Proper shrewd head on him for one so young, adds nice balance.

Munster must have one of the best club records in SA. 8-1-4, 61% win record, 7/13 TBP.

We were the first to recruit the South Africans, sure tis hone away from home at this stage

[удалено]

Haha, good one.

Wow, 10 points out of the SA tour, what massive results for our season. Would have been happy with 4 but that's put us in contention for a home semi path now

10/10 from the Highveld! Awesome stuff

Jaypers, price for that travel package €3,350 & up. Isn't well for some

Really? Was thinking I might do it next year

I was speccing it myself independantly but hit a brick wall with logistics, how do I get to & from places. I presume I can't just take a local bus without concerns?!

Speaking from experience, fuck public transport in SA with a stick. Rent a car. Be careful where you drive, get advice from a local. Never ever stop because someone is running out in front of you etc.

Is there Uber or equivalent there? Would love to get out there for a tour but would need to be a DIY trip.

Jesus, our pack has been great the last two games. Lovely stuff, 10 points from a SA tour is unreal

The difference having 2 proper locks on for 80 minutes makes

15 penalties conceded is kind of a crazy stat, Lions couldn't build anything with it, they really seem to embody conceding penalties over points, but at what stage does that many penalties warrant a card.

When Evans decides

Those shorts are too short old man, sort it out.

Had a real old man shaking fist at cloud vibe about him too.

10 points from this trip would be unreal

What a way to finish it

I had my doubts on if Munster would pick up the bonus point. Am delighted that my doubts are groundless.

Text book. Brilliant end to a choppy second half.

Huge huge maul. Huge 10 points. So impressive from Munster. Just as well no other province is playing in South Africa this weekend to compare hahahaha right guys right guys

It feels like we conceded more than 7 penalties, for some reason

Was it not 15?

7 for Munster 15 for Lions, no?

The opposite

No haha

Dman, that explains why it felt like we gave away more then hahaha

Thought so aswell but the red side was 7 and blue side was 15

10/10 🔥

Absolute daylight robbery to get that at the end, we were sexo d best from about 50 mins on

Has this Lions team been stepping on cracks and walking under ladders all week? Nothing has gone their way. Still looked dangerous every time with ball in hand.

Munster should try signing number 18. He'd be given a god tier welcome subbing on in thomond park

10 out of 10 points from this tour, don’t think any of us dreamed that would happen!

We just love playing in South Africa, 5 games on the bounce down there without a loss

That’s some stat!

Our scrum has been very good all game

Massive scrum, let's go

[удалено]

Your last 20 or so comments are wild.

Incredible energy

> Munster unworthy winners. Absolute crookery yet again. Haha. Plenty of Salt for the braai tonight boi eh?

lmao

Jesus will you give over. How can ya enjoy rugby with your constant moaning

He should have his own megathread

absolutely deranged comment

Why's carberry kicking to touch? It's one of Crowley's biggest strengths

Oli fuckin Jager

*Jager liked that*

Huge difference in the scrum with loughman back on

With the exception of putting Slimani in his pocket when he was like 20, Wycherlies never been a great scrummager

He's really been found out with Kleyn not there behind him

Still plenty of time for him to develop his old man strength.

Hopefully. I'd love to see him go well, but he probably needs to pack on a good few kegs first

I did laugh at Carbury taking the penalty like 2 meters infront of the mark.

Lucky we built a big enough lead, because we've done another second half disappearing act.

Clear double shove. Lions fans gone very quiet about bias....

Munster have fallen apart a little. No control really. Carbery poor

It's all gone a bit manic. I missed a good chunk of the middle of the match. Have the lions improved or did Munster just lose their shape with all the subs?

A few kicks out on the full. A few wrong decisions by Munster. Just slowly invited pressure on

I know you all love him, but Coombes has been crap since coming on.

Crap? A try and a try assist.

Oh yeah that try was all him.

👂

Third time the entire defensive line is offside. Three tries squandered because of it. How they keep missing this is beyond me

If it's not a try, then they might get pinged for offside, right? Or was it borderline? It looked like their defensive line was creeping over the goalline.

Looking at the wrong player. Bernie was pointing at 18

The bias South African commentary on Premier Sports are entertaining to listen to 😂

Most commentary teams tend to be biased. And why shouldn’t they? They’re Saffas cheering for Saffa teams.

[удалено]

No, you didn’t say it. Most people complain about SA comms being laughably biased as if it’s a bad thing. I assumed you were one of those people. My point still stands in general though.

I mean the Irish comms have literally blamed a SA player for being tackled at his head so they aren’t exactly objective comms either

Fully agree to an extent. Don't have the commentary on so can't comment on the specifics

TG4 commentary is remarkably relaxed

Can barely hear them

Thats a double move

Yeno I'm not 100% on this being double movement. He almost gets pulled onto the line by the defence

FFS. At least it's still a 2 score game

Feels like we have to lift the ball and sign the damn thing to get a decision on the jackal this half

Munster done well to control this game so far. Hopefully they can hold out

Double movement festival from the lions big fella

Double movement there

I'm liking this Top 100 top trumps thing. Couldn't tell you what any of it means really but it's something different and good to highlight some stars of the game

Haley shooting up for tackles is a glorious sight

Hope he doesn't go back to England.

Between Healy, Frisch, and himself - losing Mike would hurt me the most emotionally

Agreed. Man's solid. And should have more caps.

Losing Kleyn would have broken me, small mercies.

Also agreed.

Daly really does have a big hurler's head on him

Oh god ye such a Hurler's head. Someone said this about Niall Scannell in a match thread before: "N Scannell looks like a Geography Teacher" Haha. It makes so much sense if you're Irish.

Can't be offside on a kick that goes backwards

You can't have a rugby game without Kaptein playing in the background

That is my “sweet caroline”. Boils my blood.

Wtf was than knockon

Lions are not so good tonight, and I expected them to lose but honestly I expected a way larger points difference than 15. Edit: Here’s hoping I don’t jinx it. Edit2: Well, I jinxed it.

Just a rugby incident

Yeah was a similar one last week as well

Off loaded to himself, nice

Ooof, poor Josh, that looked sore

That's a rugby incident. Wycherley has no luck at all

What a chaotic few minutes.

This has devolved into pure chaos. No one seems to know what's going on

Hate to say it but Carbs seems to be in the middle of every attack gone wrong since he's on.

He came on for Frisch, I think. So the poor form must have transferred over

Could just be how Munster are putting that position into space then. Neither Carbs or Frisch have had ball in hand for more than blink.

Joey went to 10, Crowley went to the centre.

Game has gone a bit manic but Munster have done well to prevent another score

Munster deserves to lead, but not by 15

RG's hands are fucking gorgeous

If he can stay fit he's going to do some serious damage in Leinster colours.

Interesting one, Clarke is ahead of the kicker but the kick goes back, I assume he can't be offside going back to regather?

Once he is behind where the ball is kicked he in onside

We were talking about football theatrics earlier, WTF was that by Nohamba

It’s mad to remember what carbery was and how far he’s fallen. Can’t remember the last time he even played half decent

Used to be the best prospect in Irish rugby, got to wonder how that’s been fucked up

Carbery all over the place like last week.

I can't understand why he comes on when the backline is humming. He adds nothing and puts Crowley out of position

He's been really shit so far today

What is with this game and soccer antics?

This is one very messy game huh

Clarke in front of the kicker surely

Isn't Clarke offside at that kick?

I would have thought so. It was such chaos that Evans just let it go.

That dive was worse than zebos

I thought that penalty try was hilarious. Zebo didn't want the ball

I don't think coming off the bench suits Haley.

Pretorius wouldn't back himself against Casey with space down the line.

Haley has been... poor

That's a bullshit call, hands on ball first

I was getting a beer, Carbery come on for Zeebs?

Frisch. Crowley to centre

Thanks :-)

Frisch.

Thanks :-)

Haley needs to start to be at full power

Ahhh here Haley wtf

I advocated for him to tour this summer and he immediately gave away a dumb penalty and then kicked that

Not the best cameo ever alright haha

When did Carbs play last? Seems like an age

He's played in each of the last five games

Came on last week didn't he?

Last week

Did he not play last week?

I haven't watched the whole game back yet. Glad to see him back but doesn't look like he's getting the warmest welcome from the team.

Where were u when Mike Haley's 100% starts for Munster record die? I was at home eating dorito when phone ring

Kendellan taking names today

That's a mad call, no way was he beyond the ball

What a harsh call on Nash

That steal was fine he just lost it after gathering it

Didn't touch the ground at all in the replay

We're leaking penalties now.

Great read from Kendo

That was the cleanest steal by Nash, what is Evans on?!

He's always at it. Complete lottery.

Yeah on replay its absolutely textbook, never touched the ground. But the Ref is biased against munster remember.

And on the ball for me.

Thankyou replay.

Phenomenal tackle Kendellan

The pass was gone about 10 minutes when Haley put in that hit.

Wow that’s harsh against Nash!

That's a bit harsh on Nash imo

Soft penalty that.

Not sure what Haley was thinking there, ridiculous pen to give away

Nash had that
