Story of the game for him

Story of the last 6 months. Really infuriating, I'm not that disappointed he's leaving.

Racing must be wondering why they bothered with Zebo. He's been very poor today.

ScrubsfanChris

Munster can’t argue we didn’t have chances. Much improved performance on from Edinburgh but still a good few missing pieces.

Please Jeebus.

Great time to win a scrum penalty!

That's that

Box kick. Box kick. Box kick.

Between today and yesterday, they'll be giving their recruitment team a serious looking over. Two most "mercurial" players in Celtic rugby

ScrubsfanChris

That’s very much game over.

Unfortunately if we don’t see career changing form from Tyler B next season then we might be going nowhere again.

Leinster were poor today. Lucky to get the win if they do.

16-8 looks like thats it

Not a chance there was a hand in front of it.

ScrubsfanChris

That was........... fortuatious

Try_harder

One of the videos seem to show it touching the post

testtech05

Looked like he pressed against the padding to me from the side angle!!

cameramonkey

Leinster very very lucky.

A-Train

Yes go on Max Deegan

irishbucsfan

Fantastic turnover from Deegan.

Some man

Was he not the tackler?

YAAAAAAAASSSSS

Try_harder

Zebo, former Munster player now

Flincher

Deegan was clearly the tackler.

budhabob

Munster should have won, missed kicks costs them, that and some woeful passing.

Based on the season though the finalists are right.

Leinster bench made the difference

BBDBB

Great game, respect for both sides going at it hammer and tongs for the full 80
On balance the better side won, but I was pleased that Munster fronted up and took it to the wire.

Well don Leinster, good luck in the final

Really? Considering fatigue and mileage i thought the eked out the win well. Munster made bad choices.

twinytwo

Bad from Murray at the end. Ball not secured and he stood waiting for it

It clearly did not. At the very least that needed more scrutiny. But "clearly" is nonsense

PTH2009

balls Munster played very well after the Leinster try but the clock ran out

Congrats Leinster, ye have to improve a lot for next week Scarlets are in good form once again

Akrasia

We need a number 10. If we had a dependable kicker we could have closed the gap with the kickable penalties

vetinari

****s sake, bull**** at the end by the ref.

Deegan was the tackler and had no release whatsover. Should have been a penalty to Munster.

mangobob

A lot of big players for Leinster looked very tired out there from last week. Can't help wondering whats left in the tank after that dogfight.

it doesnt have to be 10. Munster need a place kicker Not a 10.

webels

No release from Deegan but Leinster better on the day. Bench was the big diffetence in the end. Good luck in the final.

Thanos

Was Lowe MOTM?

ScrubsfanChris

Leinster bench > Munster bench was the winning of it.

Leinster some questionable decisions and Munster some questionable skills.

Hope Leinster stick 30 on Scaclets now, they have the defence to stop them.

Leavy was sorely missed at the breakdown, and Fardy when he came on stepped it up a gear.

With the return of those two and Sexton next week I think we had enough rotation today to be able to put it up to Scarlets, but it'll certainly be a battle.

A-Train

Very tight but Leinster know how to win at the moment.

Yup. Good of the referee to finish with a wrong call.

Munster should have won that. Their decision making was awful. Lowe was dealing with the box kicks yet they went with them over and over. Leinster looked vulnerable when Munster moved it wide but Munster simply ignored that option.

As a Leinster fan it would have been infuriating to lose that though after that "try".
