Indeed. They actually appear interested this year...

The new Connacht. A tenner on them to win the league?

Akrasia

Should have taken the 3 points

irishbucsfan

Cardiff player guilty only of looking too guilty there!

No he was grand to have the first go, but once he didn't turn the ball over he has to get out of there AFAIK.

He went for it a second time which is the penalty.

irishbucsfan

Munster scrum looks brilliant this year so far. Great penalty won there.

Akrasia

They got too predictable there

DDC1990

O'Donoghue has had a nightmare.

Really promising player, but everyrhing going wrong tonight.

LuckyGent88

That's a couple of times now JOD has been turned over when isolated.

Clegg

Munster's lack of discipline and technique in the crucial moments is so frustrating.

Navidi is an animal at the breakdown. Good spell for Munster though.

He doesn't actually have to go anywhere, but yes the problem was he's got himself into a great position, frozen in the headlights and then looked at the referee and then gone for it again! Should have put his foot on the ball and disrupted it or kicked it out of the ruck

I thought Cardiff looked quite ragged there at times more pressure and Munster will score.

He's such a good player at Pro 12 level. Cardiff have a lot of depth in the back row now.

Akrasia

Terrible passing from Williams.

Utopia Parkway

Duncan Williams skillfully manages to find the gap between both his team mates.

Interesting, I saw it as great play by Munster but that we looked increasingly likely to concede possession before we could score

DDC1990

That should have been a yellow for me.

Reckless and around the neck.

BBDBB

Dave foley gone off, cradling his arm

Tin Foil Hat

Carta bui written all over it.

DDC1990

We have no attacking composure.

We don't look like creating any try.

DDC1990

Our scrum on the other hand.

molloyjh

Cuthbert is such a frustrating player to watch. He's clearly talented but he's just so damn lazy most of the time.

thomond2006

What happened to Dave Foley? Replay wasn't clear.

former total

Seems to be Cronin doing all the damage. Great to see.

molloyjh

Munster should win this. They've been the better team by a distance this half. And their set piece is well on top.

Yeah, and now he's off. Kilcoyne couldn't match him last week

Akrasia

Great kick from Keatley

DDC1990

Finally a good kick there from hand.

Good stuff Keatley.

irishbucsfan

Quality kick from Keatley

DDC1990

Now turn the screw.

Big Maul. Old Munster please.

mansize

That's real Munster!

DDC1990

Great stuff Killer. Finally some composure in the 22.

In fairness to Keatley it all come from his kick.

thomond2006

Full advantage taken of a gift of a penalty.

Akrasia

Now 2 more for the BP

I'd be happy with the win.

Referee giving us every 50/50 I feel.

Blues are ripe for the picking now

DDC1990

Ugh we just take the lead and give that penalty away.

He was never going to score from there

techdiver

Is the sound buzzing/clipping for anyone else on TG4 HD on Sky?

Akrasia

JOD and Cj playing really well together

Akrasia

Dammit

DDC1990

**** it. Keatley with a stupid kick again.

budhabob

V. Cheap try to give away, ripped apart.

awec

Really dumb kick poorly executed.

High pass and blues chasing down, not too many options.

That's another lovely score from Cardiff.

irishbucsfan

That was great play by Cardiff to be fair, Morgan is a dangerous player

thomond2006

That's what happens with dumb kicks.
