Hanrahan on is probably the right decision.

Carbery was targeted a lot in defence.

It's a bit different tho. Carbery was bowled over a few times from direct carrying. JJ was duped by an incredible step.

C'mon Cloete.. prove me right

Stupid from Scannell

I'm just busting chops, but JJ has to do better

Stuck his hand up as well to tell Haley to run in that gap he was going to create, right in front of Barnes

Utopia Parkway

Conway beaten in the air twice there. Toulouse showing their GAA skills.

KrustyUCC

7 points down now

5 to go

fitz

Munster look to have lost the head since the try, can't see them getting a try in 4 minutes.

Squidgy Black

Discipline is going to kill Munster here

That's likely the game.

Clegg

Beirne's departure has really turned this game. Munster don't have much threat at poaching from the breakdown now. Cronin is a bit of a penalty machine and it showed there.

Utopia Parkway

Gone tits up for Munster in the last 10 minutes.

Larbre34

Not a great cameo at hooker for Tiger Developer Johnny Ronan.

It was Scannell, not Cronin, who gave that away. Cronin was the one poaching.

That's probably the killer blow unfortunately

KH25

Munster have just gone so flat in the last 10-15 mins.

Knock on I think.

Very hard to tell if it's his hand or his head

Clegg

Looks like it came of Holland first and then off a Toulouse hand.

crisco10

Toulouse have owned the ball and territory since their try.

fitz

Knock on.

The Inbetween is mine

That had to be forward

Former Former Former

Very hard to call. Can't overrule without clear evidence

KrustyUCC

Going to give it

Don't envy the officials here is very tough to see what happened. Imo if it's this hard to tell you give the try.

Clegg

Fair enough.

Don't think there was enough evidence to say it definitely came off a Toulouse hand.

The Inbetween is mine

Both times it looks forward

fitz

That's clearly off the hand on to the head, I thought.

Squidgy Black

Those two angles are showing completely different sequences

Replacements were the big difference here, Toulouse just completely dominated after subs came on and Munster's discipline just went awol.

Bulls hit.
You could see the ball change direction

****e

Better team won

BionicRasher

That was a knock on
Hand to head clear as day in real time

thomond2006

I don't think that went backwards.

Clearly is a bit of a stretch. Tough call but right call for me with the evidence that was available.

Initially thought knock on but think it was back off the arm and then forward off the head.

The Inbetween is mine

Twice..not once but twice.. rubbish call

A-Train

Blessed with that score, fluke off the head.

Just about. Thought Munster looked very good at points but Ntamack and Dupont is like a cheat code. Has to be the best 9/10 for any team in Europe.

I think that's it for me. It's so tight and inconclusive you have to stick with the onfield decision / give the benefit of the doubt to the attacking team.

Pity, it pretty much takes a comeback off the cards.

KrustyUCC

How is that not a penalty try?

Clegg

Game doesn't really feel like a 14 point loss. Munster were better than that today.

Big issue is that in the final 15 minutes Toulouse just monopolised possession and Munster never got a sniff. Didn't even realise Casey had been subbed on.

Edit: This was posted just before the Munster try.

The ball clearly changes direction in the air, with nothing but the Toulouse players hand to cause it.

That didnt age well.

Good performance but just Toulouse the bit better

Same here. It did hit the hand but it looked like it went back onto his head. Really tight call.

blackcard

Toulouse won every 50 50 catching duel and kicked much better than Munster

Hard luck Munster. Gave it a real go.

Beirne still holding his side, hope it isn't going to impact his Lions chances.

Squidgy Black

Ah gwan Barnes would you not throw an extra 10 seconds on the clock for the neutrals.

Have to say Coombes looked very impressive today.

Larbre34

Fair play Munster, did themselves justice on the day, but Toulouse are absolutely top class and easily joint favourites for the title.
