This is tough to watch

Treviso are a much better coached side.

This munster performance isn't deserving of a semi final place.

Put the ball through the fukkkking hands.... Pleeeaaasse!

OldRio

Benetton are a pleasure to watch.

bilston

Some poor tackle attempts.

Still I still suspect Benetton will rue these missed opportunities

thomond2006

Big scrum penalty.

Treviso should have had two early in this second half. Smidge more composure when offloading and it'd almost be game over.

troyzer

Great carry by Farrell. He's the only back who looks like he gives a ****

This game and the Saracens game showcases how integral Earls is to Munster.

I can't believe VanGraan got a long extension.

Typifies the day that

griffinlee

even as a munster fan, you have to feel for Benetton. unbelievable hands both times and just dropped both times before the try line, they should be 14 points ahead.

munster will maul them at some stage but really Benetton have been worth their lead and deserve a bigger lead

razorblunt

JJ hitting the line already p, hopefully that opens up space for Farrell and the wingers.


Love how Whitehouse had to tell Owens that Stander changed his bind when Owens was looking right at the play.

Van Graan has done well for us, bizarre thing to say

I love your optimism, to me we look out of our depth. Who are these imposters wearing the red today?

thomond2006

Times a ticking.

I think he is squandering one of the best sides in Europe.

Shefwedfan

Did they really give blyendaal another contract?

troyzer

Tavuyara is class.

leakyboots

Super stuff from Cloete, unlucky with the maul. I thought Benetton player jumped into the tackle before mind

I hope Benetton have him signed up. He's electric.

razorblunt

I hate the Premier commentary team. It’s all a case of “matter of time before Munster kick on”. Commentate on what’s happening in front of you, give Benetton their due.

razorblunt

Classic jump into the tackle there though.

thomond2006

Penalty conceded off first phase?!

Cmon Munster this is woeful stuff.

Was marginal but he definitely jumped into it.

kuang1

The only thing I'm enjoying about this game is how we can hear the ref and his team so clearly.

Shefwedfan

As an Irish man I want to see Munster win

But if I was neutral I would really love to see treviso get to the semi

It's his first full season with us. He's gotten us to semi finals of Champions Cup in his two seasons and semi final of Pro14. We'll see how today's match pans out.

Delighted with him so far, not with the attack. He's taken steps to fix that.

As an aside, Van Graan is only 39 too thought he was older

I was ambivalent coming into the game. Normally I'd support Munster but it's hard not to want Treviso to continue their fairy tale season.

But now I want Treviso to win. Their rugby is just so much more attractive.

Careful lads, you'll take out someone's eye if your noses keep growing like that!

I'm a munster fan so want munster to win, but totally understand a neutral siding for Treviso based on these last 62 minutes.

bilston

That penalty from Stander could be a huge moment

razorblunt

Fûck sake Murray have a cut off them, they had no one out left.

leakyboots

Great impact from Botha as usual, such a handful

I'd never support a non Irish team against an Irish team, the better the provinces do the better Ireland does. Just my opinion, not an expectation for anyone else.

That was never a penalty though, Owens making up his own rules these days.

Zactly.

Treviso need to stick it up the jumper now.

ScrubsfanChris

Time to get alby on please. Botha having an immense start.

That was woeful. Complete waste of a free play.

Clegg

We've been waiting for Murray to play himself into form since January.

It just ain't happening.

troyzer

That was some maul.

troyzer

That was an outrageous call by Owens.

awec

Wtf Owens?

Terrible.

Ah Toland, fück off with complimenting the staff for a game last night.
Munster in the cusp of being knocked out and he’s talking about that.

Terrible by Owens

Really rudimentary error from Owens on a very clear breakdown infringement.
