    This is not good. I'd be emptying the bench to be honest.

    No line out, mediocre scrum, no back play, literally cant hold onto the ball. On what universe do they think this performance was ever going to be good enough?

    I genuinely dont see how Munster win this game. This is a complete shambles in every aspect.

    Forgot to add the kicking and discipline is also a shambles. Literally no redeeming feature from this performance.

    Nankivell will at least give some Munster direction in midfield. Their 10/12/13 have gone side to side all day.

    They'll be fine. Benneton are conceding a lot of penalties. Sort out the lineout and they'll have a platform to win the game.

    It doesnt matter how many penalties they concede when Munster are incapable of putting anything together.

    The worrying part from this is Benetton really arent that good, they would have eaten us alive with this performance last season, but Munster are just so lacklustre that they are incapable of firing a shot. If Munster were just 7/10 here they'd win.

    Finally a bit of directness from Nankivell and Munster make some ground in attack.

    Carbery has no idea what to do, missing alot in that last set if phases.

    Absolutely wretched stuff in the last 10 metres. Why oh why are they just passing it to static runners to walk it into contact over and over again?

    It's almost like the Munster players have had a bet of who can drop the ball the most times and then proceed to get destroyed in the resulting scrum.


    Only a matter of time before Benetton finally make us pay.

    Good to see that determination and stubbornness even when playing that poorly. A draw certainly wasn't deserved, but it was well earned.

    As bad as Munster were, they did dominate enough of the second half to get a draw. I’d like to see a few changes the next day, Ahern, PP, Nankivell in particular were much better than the starters.

    Questionable going to the line 3 or 4 times and not taking their points, particularly 10 down. May have cost them a win.

    Snatched a draw at the death. Dont think it was deserved but we'll take it.

    Edogbo, Ahern and Nankivell about the only positives there...

    Move on. Superior fitness played it's part in the last ten minutes.

    100%

    They deserve to start based in that game.

    Ahern is a locked on international if he can get an extended run of health. Great size, really good athlete and quite skilled.

    I would never want Carbery to be my 10. He wasn’t the only weak performance today but his low points are just unacceptably low, especially on the wages he’d probably want.

    Bad things happen when you're down to your 4th and 5th choice looseheads.

    Benetton were very physical today and wouldn't lay down. They'll be tough opposition this season.

    Decision making was indeed poor though.

    Nankivell has had two very good cameos off the bench, and I'd also like to see he and Ahern get a start.

    I'm sure we'll take good learnings and momentum from the comeback. Irish and Bok contingent to return. Onwards and upwards.

    Might have been a blessing in the end to have had that try disallowed. Conversion was a tricky one and could easily have been missed. Did well to get a draw out of that

    Why are the likes of Casey not back already. He's played about half a game since early September, no?

    Piss poor performance, lucky to get the draw. Joey had a game he'd sooner forget, poor passes, porn kicks, poor decision making and like most of the rest of the team, dropped balls

    The subs rescued that game.


    Roll on next week
