    This is why Munster will likely still lose this game despite the good first half, its just so much easier for Northampton to score and they dont have to work as hard to get their scores…

    Whole line looked narrow tbh, made it far too easy for Saints.

    Coombes has to make a better fist of that tackle on Lawes.

    Serious pace to this. Aherne needed to hold on to the ball after his break

    It's frenetic stuff, great to watch

    Our bench could be an issue tho at this pace

    We are still in the cup😀

    Coombes, Casey , Zebo having a great game, actually Munster having a great game, disappointing to be only level, we should be ahead.

    Mike Adamson pulls Munster for a crooked throw but allows Saints away with one and from there they score their second try. 🤷

    I'm watching on ITV, Geordan Murphy is excellent in co-comms

    Both sides looked gassed near the end of that half.

    delighted we are still in it at half time, fear for last Q unless subs can play above themselves.

    As some said earlier, saints dont have to work hard to get their scores, we do.

    SOB is biting in but Frisch is also biting , especially for second saints try.

    Frantic pace.

    Wind might be useful this half

    Ahern's athleticism is a real asset in defence in an open game like this. He covers a lot of ground and even chases down backs. Just before Lawes's knock on, Ahern had chased across the field covering each of the three Northampton carriers before the ball got to Lawes.

    Might explain RG's illness too

    Couple of huge momentum moments from POM and Beirne there

    Munster's ruck protection hasn't been great.

    Notable where the ball was stolen, Northampton kicked and Ahern fielded it on the wing.

    Not sure about that Scannell call but would need to see it again. Both sides are really going after the ball on the ground so need to protect it better. Very evenly matched teams, bench impact could be the difference

    Thought Lawes was in from the side for the turnover, and then Scannell was on his feet enough to be fine there. Double dodgy calls, imo.

    Lucky. Coombes falling off too many tackles.

    Hopefully Murray doesnt act as a double agent like he didnt during his last visit to England in this competition!

    Murray's boxkicks could cause havoc if he gets air on them

    Coombes need to tidy up on the missed tackles. Another one missed this time on Freeman. If you’re getting your hands on them, you need to be putting them down in this tight a game.

    Feel Northampton are starting to get on top physically. Munster need a score. A 3 will do to slow down their momentum.

    Superb out there. He’s a Rolls Royce of a player.
