Big forward pass there in the build up. Surprised it was missed.

I've no idea what you could be talking about. :pac:

I don't think Leinster fans should be complaining about forward passes in Munster matches though...

Where is the MOTM from last week?

9 point lead might not be enough given the run of play. Munster were dominant but sloppy. Ulster were sloppy too but took their chances well

From the awful to the sublime in 10 minutes from Munster. Losing an uncontested lineout and then allowing the smallest player on the pitch run through 3!!! forwards under the posts.
Lovely straight lines from Scannell, Taute and ROM to lead to the try.

Williams pick and goes are dodgy though, he's picking the wrong time to do it and running away from his forwards.

Tyler Bleyendaal is he injured?

Play the ball, not the man, Leinster has nothing to do with a match between Ulster and Munster

They're just resting him. Same with Stander

A real curate's egg of a first half... we have the better of them up front, reasonably comfortably I'd say.. but Christ above the errors. I'd love to say we deserve to be in front for all the possession and territory but we don't deserve it, you can't spill the ball for 40 mins and expect that.

Being honest, both Ulster's tries were like something from an u-18s game, apart from that we're not in too much trouble, except when Piatau has the ball.

Rory Scannell, Killer, John Ryan, Jack O'Donoghue, Sweetnam (bar one missed high ball) all having fine games. TOD was doing well until two bad mistakes before and directly after their try. Taute is good in flashes but I'd like to see him take the game by the scruff, it's there if he wants it. Scrums are even, had hoped to get some change out of them there. Niall Scannell's propensity for messing up lineouts 5m is starting to become a habit that I don't like.

Keatley... his kicking demons have returned, I hope that brilliant touch finder gives him some confidence, but we just can't rely on him off the tee at the moment.

I'd take a losing bonus if offered it but I don't think a win is beyond us at all. Ulster's subs will probably win the game for them though you'd feel. Even 50% more accuracy in their 22 and we'll get a few scores

Very impressed with JOD's carries too.

Clegg

Munster's forwards have been good. Half backs have been very poor.

Akrasia

Good start!

Rory Scannell has to step forward now.

Clegg

Jesus just take Keatley off now.

Cathalthesmart

Stop going for goal Munster is my advice.

Jesus Keatley.

For all that we were saying last season that having someone pushing him and able to take some pressure off, his kicking is actually worse.

Ulster are bloody stupid.

stupid by rory scannell

Only ourselves to blame in loosing this game.
Awful penalty given away

It's such a massive disadvantage not being able to take these points. Wales won a grand slam on the back of a kicker who punishes every penalty.

was gilroy in front of Lyttle there at the kick

Yes, just barely

What a tackle by Luke Marshall.

But please can we find some sodding forwards?

LuckyGent88

Great tackle by Marshall

Clegg

Do Ulster have any sort of attacking structure?

letowski

Tuate looked a little slow there.

Tuohy is doing alright for his first game back

Was gonna post that. Was he just waiting for support?

Clegg

Oh look.

Munster knock on in the 22.

Hagz

So..... Taute has no pace. LOL.

ScrubsfanChris

It seems now a days if a maul stops for 1/2 second you have to use it.

Cathalthesmart

I dont know why I'm even surprised anymore with these knock ons.

andymx11

Marshall close to going off injured

Hagz

Awesome from JOD. He's having a game.

Akrasia

Little is having a great game

He looked like a prop trying to sprint there.

I kinda feel sorry for Keatley.

ffs how many times can Munster knock on

He's always at his best at 8... the problem is.. CJ is in his way. Those games at 6 and 7 are standing to him, he's well rounded as a player

Clegg

O'Donnell has been very poor tonight.

He should move to Ulster so to get gametime at 8

Jayus this bbc ni commentary is the most biased i ve heard since donald trump

Hard to see us pulling this one out of the fire at this stage. Half backs and handling errors have killed us

Mahatma Geansai

Conway taken out in the air and lands on his upper back. While I wouldn't agree with it, some refs would give a red for it.

Cathalthesmart

I would love to know how Munster think they can win a game of rugby when they are incapable of holding onto the ball once under any sort of pressure.

Cathalthesmart

Wonder how long Munster can hold onto the ball before knocking on.
