Anyone else’s stream of the a game is like a toddler has control of the camera?

Seems to be following the play but just showing the stand most of the time.

This reminds me of a Scottish football club game earlier in the year. The camera was being controlled by AI programmed to follow the ball. But it kept mixing up the ball for the linesman bald head.

Well this is somewhat different.

Gave up. Jittery camera and no sound is a woeful combination.

Munster knock on from kick off and a Clermont try in the first 25 seconds...


Couldnt have asked for a better start.

None of the Munster players thought about tackling Yato...

Fair f***s to Munster winning away in Clermont is a huge achievement and coming from behind to win especially

Great result, congrats guys. Absolutely incredible for Josh Wycherly to get through nearly 80 minutes of really good rugby after being given his wings so early by Slimani. Hopefully a star-making performance. Great to see that the next crop of Munster players are not only talented but resilient too. Ben Healy has nerves of steel. Craig Casey is such a competitor, he's brilliant and exactly what Irish rugby needs IMO.

So 3 intepros now. Leinster at home before 2 away trips then europe back with Clermont at home and quins away.
What way would people like to rotate for these games?

I think we're unlikely to see the likes of O'Mahony, Stander, Murray until the Connacht game, which is the perfect game to bring them back in before Clermont.

Hopefully Healy will be back by then too. JJ as well looked to be carrying an injury when subbed off but hopefully nothing too serious. Wonder would we see Flannery or Crowley get a start if so?

Will Ulster away go ahead?

Id hope to play them in more than 1 game before Clermont though depends on how league is set after these games as heard nothing more from pro14 about rest of fixtures.

Dont see why it wouldnt. Players travel up on day. All travelling are PCR tested

6n really should be pushed back til May/June

Last season the internationals got two weeks off. Missing the Leinster and Ulster games makes the most sense.

The NI lockdown currently has no exemption for elite sport from the 26th of December to the 2nd of January so on that basis the game will be postponed.
Not confirmed yet though.

EDIT: actually it appears they have been given an exemption. Happy days.

I think this ‘more virulent strain’ thing was just an attempt by the government to defer blame for canceling Christmas
Once again a self serving lie from the Tories screws both the UK and everyone who is doing business with them

Viruses mutate over time. That's nothing new.

Sometimes I forget how crazy some people are, because it's a rugby forum.

Yeah let’s trust the Irish government that has been so trust worthy since forever.

thomond2006

The government/tories/whatever has nothing to do with Munster.
