Munster vs Southern Kings, Fri 14th Feb 7:35pm; Eir Sport

Nick McCarthy benching a fixture like this must be a bad sign.

I’d rather the winners of the Super 6 in Scotland play instead of the Kings.


Them or who ever wins the Edinburgh Business Summer Tag tournament.

They're rotating over the next few games. He's already behind Casey based on the last European lineups.

That’s not an elbow he was trying to be this hand up and over.
Should be penalty reversal for the push in the chest on Knox.

Yellow for that?!

Another bad call

Squidgy Black

Absolutely nothing in that at all

That's not an elbow. Nothing in that.

Letter of the law...maybe... but it's harsh, very harsh indeed

Was something with O Byrne surely before that

Knock on by Coombes in there

Toland gives Hodnett MOTM. Check his betting account!!

Record margin of victory for Munster. It was previously their win by 57 over Ulster last season.

The highest points scored record also broken, it was also held by the same game.

Munster's basic handling was absolutely shocking.

Well this isn't something I expected to read after a 10 try, 65 point hammering of the King's.

I thought it was hard to imagine the Pro14 looking like a bigger joke than it has been in recent years, but yea, 68 points has done the trick.

A new low.

Same but it's true, some sloppy stuff by us. It'll keep focus after a whipping like that.

Some good stuff to take away though too.

The Gallagher Premiership (Saracens 62-5 Worcester) and the 2019 World Cup (South Africa 66-7 Canada) too. All joke competitions.

Should have been well breaking 100 points, but Munster's handling was terrible. The Kings are really that bad.

95% of that was Mike Haley

You could blame him, but a lot of passing behind the player by most of the lads. Basic stuff really.

Curates egg of a game and a performance from players and officials, the missed so much from both sides that it was beyond a joke.

Happy with the scores but some of our errors was schoolboy like. Haley getting a bit of bad press here but Farrell was a bad, if not worse.


Billy Holland was my MotM, he's such a clever player, always in the right place. I love to see him captain us too, generally, makes the right calls.

Haley has an unfortunate knack of errors at bad times. Other than that he's a tidy player.

I think there was a rust all through the team. That'll probably change as they play more. Daly is usually as solid as they come, but even he had a few errors.
