Stats going around is that the biggest half time deficit Munster turned around was 18 points against Ulster back in 2007.

Records are there to be broken. Need to make at least 2 changes - Marshall And Copeland in straight away

We need not worry about turning this game over, that is not going to happen.
Munster are being found out today.

Racing are reading them well. The Munster attack is so predictable. Stander just bushing away and not getting much joy. Holland and Kleyn are non factors. D Ryan is the best 2nd row on the field.
I am surprised at how good Archer is. He really has turned the corner.
I would take Wooten off, Zebo to the wing. Copeland to 7. The pack needs pace, all just plodding. At least Copeland offers speed and variations to attack.
Munster can pull it off. Quick score and back in it.

In fairness Bleyendaal would be out there if he was fit.

I'd look to resign Bill Johnston and try to develop him.

Any reason why Johnston hasn't been resigned already?

The only thing that would shock me more than the scoreline would be if there isn't a big response from Munster in the next 20 minutes.

Do the Munster fans realise Athenry is in Connaught?

Murray's lost his head.

Stupid

Donnacha's great.

Very lucky.

thomond2006

Vakatawa can feck off.

First line out completely crooked.

First offence for racing in their 22 should warrant a yellow they’ve given enough away in the first half.

Nothing in it but he should have just walked away. The expression on his face even before that suggests he's reeling from the first half.

Racing players playacting

vienne86

I think the ref did right there.

lucky, I think the Frenchman was claiming there was contact with his eye by Murray

They're the best supporters in the world dont ya know? They can sing whatever song they like

Pretty embarrassing from Vakatawa with that dive, but Murray should restrain himself more all the same.

I feel gutted for the Munster fans, particularly the ones who have travelled to Bordeaux in big numbers.

At considerable expense

New front row. And Zebo on too.

'Mon lads!!!

That brain fart costed us

Bad for rugby's image to see diving like that in such a big game. BT should call it out.

Donal lenihan was saying that the racing player went down like a big tree been cut down.

Who says they're the best supporters? Themselves?

Is the ref's mic working on TV? Can't hear it on my stream.

The media, fans of other clubs etc....

Working fine on the radio for me.

I have to ask if Murray is fit. I can't remember a performance like this from him in years. Threw a brutal pass to someone's toes there.

Indeed. I've heard it on more than one occasion.

Funnily enough, I'm not the only one in this thread that can see what I've been seeing for a long time. If it means i have to beat the drum until the people with Rose tinted glasses can see through the fog.

Do English fans realise there is no chariot coming to carry them home?

vienne86

Could be a card here. Not this time.

This is better now.

Do you know what, in the whole history of boards I don't think I've ever seen someone make such an original observation. Good man. Stick to the rugby please

If you're not trolling for a reaction that's a stupid post. Cut out this nonsense.

Great.

Surely must be close to a yellow card for offside. Murray lucky he didn't get one tho

I think it's more down to his pack getting pulverised. He's getting crap ball under huge pressure.

Buer

That had to go wide on the near side after Ryan nearly made the line. Butchered.

razorblunt

Doyle has actually been in the way a few times today, Murray pulled passes a few times because of him

razorblunt

Just squeeze them, see if they fold.

Or basically do Fcking something, anything.

He wasn't in the way so much there just that Marshall used him as a shield. It was clever play. If the Racing player didn't run into Doyle, it probably would have stood.

Munster are clueless here

I think the streams use BeIn which for some reason never has the ref mic channel turned on for their broadcasts

Great defence from Racing.

That's it now.

They'll have a great session and a sing song aftet this. Result will be a minor foot note to the hordes.
