He hit Murray so hard he knocked Farrell over.

That's been great to see. Papali'i showed its qualities. So promising

That's a red every time lads.

Redo91

Am I missing something? Really poor tackle but from the angles they showed I thought it was more his upper arm that caught him.

ClanofLams

That’s criminal from Conor Fitzgerald unfortunately

shootermacg

That’s a hostile crowd!

Bridge93

Am I blind or was there no head contact has said? He hit him in the shoulder and ride up slightly? It was the force of the hit that caused Murray to sort of whiplash

Thought it was pretty harsh

If that is his qualities connacht will be playing a fair few games with 14 men

VANG1

Will there be a Munster based referee for tha semi ?

razorblunt

It’s one thing having Toland spout rubbish it’s another having him interrupt the commentator so he can finish off whatever rubbish he was saying.

i would have shown a yellow but i can see the argument for red. think the slo-mo shots sealed it really, the impact was insane.

Yes his teammates will be bursting to play 55 mins a man down!

Bridge93

This game is desperate. Real feel of nothing to play for. Seems like there’s a penalty every 3 minutes

razorblunt

Munster backs are passing too early and too far away from the line, letting Connacht just drift.

Why Cloete?
Why?

ClanofLams

Definite yellow for Cloete that. Ball well gone

gally74

That's a yellow swinging arm

He's a decent player but his discipline is awful. Always the first one into fights. Always worry when I see his name on the teamsheet.

Exactly what I saw.
But as TMO was called, he felt obliged...

cameramonkey

Ref not even trying to hide his bias. That was high swinging arm, at least a yellow.

Clegg

That's a red for Delehunt as well.

VANG1

That was a least a yellow.

yerrahbah

Another red

thomond2006

Good lord!

JohnGreenFan

What on earth are Connacht doing? 2 red cards now for them. Insane play.

Burkie1203

Jaysus

Bridge93

This is insanity

Clegg

The first red was borderline for me. But no doubts about the second.

VANG1

Red to head

Utopia Parkway

Well this game has been a big waste of time anyway.

razorblunt

That’s poor from Delahunt.
Frank trying to talk that one down

thomond2006

Ok Munster time to wake up!

shootermacg

Absolute filth. No skin in the game and just out to injure Munster.

Nope. They have to play Leinster.

VANG1

Why didn’t they look at the late tackle on blade

Are you for real?
There can be no debate about any of his decisions

They’ve been spot on

They did and awarded a penalty for it.

yerrahbah

JJ nearly butchered that. Connacht will be down to 12 at some stage in this game.

Clotes swinging arm should have been a yellow.

TMo should have pulled it back yes


But it doesn’t take away from the 2 clear reds

To say it’s Murphy being Bias is senseless, May as well blame 5G while yer at it

So that's what De Allende was upto last week so

ClanofLams

Cheap shot by Cloete was definite yellow. Other than that it’s hard to argue, the papali’i red seems bit harsh but think it was probably correct based on laws and rather the odd red that seems harsh than widespread high contact.

shaungil

Both reds fair but inconsistent applying if rolling away fir me. Just prior to red clear red Mayer not rolling which Arnold was penalised for earlier. Late hit on sh not even looked at.
Anyway game over as a contest which is a pity.

The late hit on Blade was looked at by TMO and a pen was given

Clegg

Aki has been excellent since coming on. Best centre on the pitch.
