Munster to kick off in the second half. Hopefully we can get pressure on early. I think Munster are still well in this, but that try was a killer.

Id be bringing Cronin and Ryan on early.

That was bizarre from Conway. Quite lucky to escape a card though with the way contact in the air is being reffed these days Garces could have sent Steenson to the bin for taking the man in the air!!!!

I would've taken that half time scoreline at kick off.
We've shown up today and no mistake.

Haley and Archer had a couple of poor moments but nothing terrible in the bigger picture.

Beirne has shown his true worth today. That's what he was showing all last season. He's the real deal.

Himself and James Ryan are Ireland's future. That's a nice notion.

The danger of that is what we just saw. The wind.

Exeter will have to score tries to win, it will be nearly impossible for them to score penalty kicks or to gain field position with kicks.

Exeter did not make use of the wind in the first half.

Munster need to kick for position, they should make Exeter play in their own half. This game is now made for Munster.

I think if they cut down on mistake they can win.

I'm really surprised he got away with it. He had to have run early there.

No, Steenson took a slow 'run' up. One step and Conway was away.

The wind is so strong that it is easier said than done to use it to your advantage to build field position. So easy to overcook them so it will be a huge test for Carbery.

Just because someone takes a slow run up you cant recklessly dive through them. Many other refs would have given him a card and he was lucky his elbow wasn't an inch the other direction and caught Steenson in the head as Garces wouldnt have a choice.

Heymans · 13-10-2018 4:16pm

Kleyne is just so good as the unseen work. Gets stuck in to every ruck and carries like a demon

Boscoirl · 13-10-2018 4:16pm

The breakdown is a free for all

The question was if Conway was early.

budhabob · 13-10-2018 4:18pm

Williams that was madness, saying that we weren't making any ground

razorblunt · 13-10-2018 4:18pm

Exeter just walking up in defence they know full well it’s just waves of forwards coming at them.

Similar to Cardiff away, forwards making little ground.

prawnsambo · 13-10-2018 4:19pm

And POM's been rumbled by the commentary team.

Again....but not by the ref.

budhabob · 13-10-2018 4:20pm

Think Cronin should come in soon....or killer is gonna be carded.

Beginning of the end.

budhabob · 13-10-2018 4:24pm

Scannell, carbery....brilliant tackles, beirne with another great turnover

letowski · 13-10-2018 4:25pm

I have Beirne with 3 turnovers on the deck so far.

13-10-2018 4:26pm

All those penalties and penalty try rubbish from last week when in fact Munster should have been penalised at EVERY scrum from PoMs illegal binds.

Foxtrol · 13-10-2018 4:28pm

Very long advantage there

ScrubsfanChris · 13-10-2018 4:31pm

For fcuk sake Williams

letowski · 13-10-2018 4:32pm

Mistakes are killing us

mangobob · 13-10-2018 4:32pm

"ooogs"

razorblunt · 13-10-2018 4:34pm

Stop. Letting. The . Forwards. Repeatedly. Take. The. Ball.

Clegg · 13-10-2018 4:34pm

PoM isn't having the greatest of games.

ScrubsfanChris · 13-10-2018 4:35pm

A perfect display on how not to score

razorblunt · 13-10-2018 4:35pm

Decent hours work for Scannel that.

letowski · 13-10-2018 4:35pm

How can you not score a try in that situatiom. Our redzone play is horrendous.

Heymans · 13-10-2018 4:36pm

Bad steal against Beirne there in the lineout

AbusesToilets · 13-10-2018 4:36pm

Munsters recycling from the breakdown is glacial, killing their attacks

razorblunt · 13-10-2018 4:36pm

The difference when Mathewson wasn’t on last week and was actively taking the ball away from the forwards is nigh and day to this.

Bridge93 · 13-10-2018 4:37pm

James Cronins discipline is a consistent embarrassment

c.p.w.g.w · 13-10-2018 4:37pm

Our offloading has been embarrassing at times, look before to pass it

Bridge93 · 13-10-2018 4:38pm

Duncan Williams take a bow

budhabob · 13-10-2018 4:38pm

Great last ditch tackle there.....good man williams

Scannell with a great tip tackle too

razorblunt · 13-10-2018 4:38pm

Conway taken out off the ball, right in front of the ref.

“Oooogs”, again.

budhabob · 13-10-2018 4:41pm

Our lineout has gone to ****e since Marshall has come on.

letowski · 13-10-2018 4:44pm

Fiiiinally. Great impact by all subs!

budhabob · 13-10-2018 4:44pm

Now, that's more like it. Good man CJ.

razorblunt · 13-10-2018 4:44pm

TOD lovely injection of pace.

ScrubsfanChris · 13-10-2018 4:45pm

Finally a bit of pace close to the line.

sioda · 13-10-2018 4:45pm

Ouch

13-10-2018 4:47pm

Could be a cracking final 15 here

Harsh call, there’s not been many clean releases all game.

Thought the same myself

budhabob · 13-10-2018 4:55pm

What a kick by carbery, looked light initially, but what ground

razorblunt · 13-10-2018 4:56pm

POM is having a very poor game.
