Pro14 QF: Munster vs Benetton, Sat 4th May 3pm

Faugheen

Don’t ever, ever whinge about refereeing decisions again.

That was a terrible call.

Dave_The_Sheep

No idea what Owens was thinking there.

thomond2006

Crooked throw.....ugh

Shefwedfan

Jesus Munster are awful

leakyboots

Which call? The entry from the side on CJ?

thomond2006

Can someone fill me on what the terrible call was?

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

Cheers. Still time.

Second time he has called Munster to stay out then let them pinch the ball in the same move. Owens isn’t having a great match at all.

awec

Owens is absolutely riding Treviso.

selassie

Travesty if Munster win this.

If it's the John Ryan one - did Ryan not counter ruck his man out of the way and come straight through the gate?

Ryan counter rucked fairly and was over the ball. But he then forms the front of the ruck, he's not allowed to pick up the ball.

Munster are supposed to keep rucking and push the ball behind their ruck.

Dave_The_Sheep

And prior to that bizarre call from Owens, Treviso butchered a three on two by going straight to the winger. They'll be kicking themselves if they lose this.

Tough kick incoming!

Faugheen

Stander not supporting his body weight there. Hands all over the floor.

No he didn't stay on his feet.

I don’t watch much rugby but I’ve enjoyed this. But the rules. Does anyone actually know them or does the ref just make them up? Can you pick the ball up in the ruck or not?

razorblunt

Great kick.

leakyboots

Well done JJ

He just made it up.

And now it looks like Munster are going to win. It's a ****ing disgrace.

Shefwedfan

Owens has got to pot recently....

A-Train

Great kick.

Munster don’t deserve this and will have Owens to thank for the win.

Clegg

If Munster play like this against Leinster they'll be hammered. European final be damned.

razorblunt

Poor kick, poor chase, they lost ground on that.


Interception time..

Bridge93

People will still blindly say he’s the best referee in the world when it’s so far from the truth

OldRio

What a kick by JJ

Euphoriasean

Skocking call from Owens. Stander was no way supporting his weight.

Shefwedfan

Come on treviso

“Munster knock out rugby specialists” WTF the last time they won anything was 2011 so how are they specialists. Commentators need to drop this rubbish.

Squatter

Utterly scandalously one-eyed performance by Owens.

Not content with robbing Treviso of a deserved win in Belfast, he now rides the hole off them in Limerick, I feel sick.

A-Train

Terrible attempt at the drop! Should have kept playing the ball.

Shocking kick, don't put your hand up if you are going to produce the likes of that.

Larbre34

Time up?

awec

Nigel Owens was a shambles today.

eigrod

Never in doubt

razorblunt

Absolutely stole that.

troyzer

That was a ****ing travesty.

I'm sick to my stomach. Munster played off the park by the better team but Nigel wins the day.

He can't retire soon enough.

sydthebeat

Leinster would swallow up munster of they play like that again

leakyboots

Tense finish!! Feel for Treviso, really put it up to us. Hope they kick on further next season.

Off to the horseyhouse with us

Jaysis poor efforts at the DG from Treviso, regardless of other decisions.

stephen_n

The better team lost today that’s for sure.

Burkie1203

I wonder will Barry Murphy be posting video clips of Nigel riding Benetton

bilston

The best team lost

Nevertheless fair play to Munster and particularly CJ Stander who won some huge penalties.

Ectoplasm

Munster didn't deserve that win.

Larbre34

See ye in the RDS fellas, though I'm not too concerned

yerrahbah

Didn't deserve to win that. But will take it. Great kick by JJ.

Unbeaten at home at all season.

Gutted for Benetton

Leinster game next week could be ugly

Dave_The_Sheep

Dubious six point swing at the end there, you can't but feel for Treviso, but Munster will take that.

thomond2006

Poor Benetton.

Munster can't be that bad again. Were well beaten and two really poor calls by Owens manufactured the difference between the teams.

Munster will be a different team in the semi final, but that's as ladyboy a pack performance as I've seen in a long time.

Hurrache

Awful game management by Treviso in the last 10. Working it up the pitch was working but they went for 2 stupid kicks.
