Don't like to see that from Kleyn, bad form

Too much of a trend for us this year. Discipline has been utterly sh1te.
Cloete is a brilliant addition, but his edge is a tad too sharp for my liking.

budhabob

Kilcoyne hobbling off. Didn't see any knock

.ak

Killers injured... Hmm, possibly Healy injured as well. Loosehead looking bare now.

vienne86

Kilcoyne big loss.

vienne86

Not a great kick by Murray there - v lucky they knocked on.

Former Former

Very odd call. Runners in front; take it again?

kuang1

Big moment in the game that scrum.

Why do Munster get to retake that, what happened?

Up to referee to restart and he wasnt happy for play to restart so its retaken

1 try before half time would be a good result.

A try now is a sucker punch and Castres will lose a lot of heart. That will set Munster up nicely for their standard 40-60 minute onslaught.

Yellow card for 13. Whitehouse not having a bad game. Pity not 7 points there

budhabob

Some black eye for earls!

Still manages to squeeze in for good try. Castres look shook the last 10 mins

Buer

That's the decisive blow. Castres aren't going to come out for the second half.

Jack Kanoff

Quick free kick and earls gets over for a try....we could use another begire half time.

We might well get one, but as Buer says, Castres should be done now as it is.

Nasty busted face for Earls. That's a tough one, your eye socket fills with blood every time you use your nose to breath.

Guy:Incognito

Why did Murray pass that?

They’ll lance it with a blade shortly, like they did to Rocky

What was murray thinking there? Good work from Farrell in the lead up

Murray is having one of those days. Not up to his usual standard.

kuang1

Keatley knocked that on before Farell made that break.

It wasn't, Conway was covered....Murray was through

letowski

How do you not execute that pass between Murray and Farrell. Thats so poor.

Cloete?

No chance. At the very least draw the man away first. He was giving it to a marked man.

razorblunt

Showtime Jr is absolutely atrocious, some very strange calls, including the last 2 “use its”.

LuckyGent88

Tough struggle in that half. Poor from Murray at the end for that breakaway. Would have sewn up the game for us.

DDC1990

Home QF nearly assured now. Win and play La Rochelle, BP and we play Toulon.

Much of a muchness. Two difficult challenges.

webels

Win this without the Bp might be better. Which would Munster prefer LAR or Toulon. LAR at the moment on 20 also but Munster above them on pd.

mystic86

Surely we shouldn't go for the bonus point now?? I would prefer La Rochelle in Thomand than Toulon in Thomand!

Jack Kanoff

As it stands we play La Rochelle at home in the QF

kuang1

I don't have a preference for either myself.

Bridge93

It's much for muchness. But would munster rather a semi in Dublin/London or France?

Without a bonus point the potential semi is away to the winners of Leinster and Sarseholes mind. With the TBP is't away to the winner of Clermont and Racing.

I'd rather La Rochelle and if we get thru, Leinster at the aviva

letowski

I'd rather the opportunity to play for a home semi, so I'd like to see Munster go for a BP win.

budhabob

Some drive from stander, no stopping him

I'd not score any more tries if I was you...

Don't think a home semi is an option for Munster. Best thing they can do now is keep kicking three pointers to avoid the BP but they probably won't have been sent out with that message.

mystic86

I would definitely prefer a semi final against Leinster in the Aviva than an away game to Clermont. Please stop scoring trys Munster!

Jack Kanoff

I'd say the only ones praying for a Munster bp win are Leinster fans

P.Walnuts

Can anyone explain to be what's up with Rory Kockotts left arm? Its at least twice the size of his right
