Munster vs Edinburgh, Fri 29th April 7:35pm; TG4

Clareman

FFS, why the ref felt the need to go up stairs I don't know, either give it or let it play out, just hold hte scrum now

ShatterProof

No try

BBDBB

Can't give that

Felix Jones is God

Roll over the line here

Clareman

Aboy CJ, no point in taking a risk there at the scrum

Clareman

GET IN

Felix Jones is God

Now that's a fckin try!!

thomond2006

Whew. Job done.

LuckyGent88

Thank fcuk for that. In front of the posts too, lovely stuff

BBDBB

Yeeeeeeeessssss

AlfaZen

Thank Christ!!!

Cronin killed Saili to get him over the line

Clareman

Bonus point and no point for Edinburgh gives us a bit of breathing space next week so we have to keep they out here

First Up

Thank goodness for that.

He'd have killed his mother to get a try there!

Lot of work to do though for next season

Clareman

Right, take the minute for the penalty, stroll up to the line, maul it as far as you can and then kick it out, keep it f**king simple

thomond2006

What a mad Pro12 run-in. If Scarlets and Ulster lose tomorrow then suddenly Munster can make the playoffs.

molloyjh

Can anyone explain to me why Munster got that last scrum? There was no evidence that the ball made it to the line to be held up. So surely because it was a maul it should have been an Edinburgh scrum because the ball was unplayable.

Lot to do next week yet, but at least our destiny is in our own hands

Who the f**k kicked that ball?

kuang1

Sounds like I may have avoided shortening my life significantly by not getting out of work in time to watch that!

Phew though.

We were the better team... By a mile... But nerves settled in and nearly cost us
Deserved win and better times ahead

BBDBB

5 - 0 win. I'll take the result, delighted with it. But jeez we play some crap at times

Conway kicked the grubber

If the ref stops the game to go to the tmo, and the tmo has nothing to add ie says the game should have continued, it's a scrum to the team that was in possession. Doesn't matter if they would likely have turned it over if he hadn't stopped the game.

Munster had gone through another phase or two before the ref called it up, so if it never crossed the line, they were just going to next phase. Ref called it up in open play, so Munster retain possession.

Were you like me, thinking they had scored only 3 tries?:D

Munster will need to beat Scarlets if Cardiff win their remaining two matches: Ospreys in PS and Edinburgh away.

I think that is 30/70 personally

ionadnapokot

Yea.once the red stops the play in that instance attacking team retains possession

In fact, Leinster whoop Ulster tomorrow, we're playing for a semi final place in our last game

Robbo

"The Musgrave".

I think the PR bunnies will be having a word with Conway about that. What a kick though.

That seems a bit ridiculous. Munster didn't make the line and couldn't get the ball back. That's a turnover all day long. If I was an Edinburgh fan I'd be hugely pissed off about that.

Cosmo Kramer

So, with one game left to play out of 22, Munster could still win the Pro 12 or might not even qualify for the Champions Cup. Incredible.

It will be close. No Fitzgerald starting for Leinster is massive. He's by far their best back.

Let's remember what yon Saxon foe keep repeating: the Pro12 isn't competitive.

But
Dem d rules

Clareman

There's less than 3 wins between first and 6th in the league, in the English and French leagues it's 3 wins between 1st and 4th in the league, taking standard of play out of the equation it could be said that the Pro12 is a far more competitive league.

It's been a stunning season so far. It had everything, highs, lows, controversial decisions, tension, relief, hope, despair...

It's like game of thrones with more blood but less nudity

Always find it strange when people nitpick about this. Colloquially they're often called rules. Fair enough, really.

Ospreys win with a BP tomorrow and they're not out of it either (in fact just a win and they're not out of it). Munster really need to beat Scarlets next week.
