Missed the first half.
Adamson is so bad, Coombes had scored before Kendellen did he didn’t see it, no arms tackle on Wycherley’s carry after it, missed too.

Great win, Aherne looked like he was loving it, Vermeulen’s bashed up face told it’s own story.

Who here doesn’t rate Beirne? The guy is a monster, if he was a Kiwi he’d be raved about.

And yet, amazingly, there is usually debate about his place in the Irish team. He's tremendous.

Any small kids starting off in the game should be made sit down and watch Casey and Lowry’s tackling technique. Textbook. Dropped everything coming at them.

He does “the unseen stuff” seen. What’s not to like.

Some really bad handling errors, but the mental side was streets ahead of last week. Haley had a very good game. I think JvG needs to be run out of town for what he has done to Casey. He could be the kind of player who sets the culture for a generation and JvG has him playing like that. Unforgivable.

It was banter m8. Don't worry about it, not really your thing

Like you and being funny.


Great win after the red.

Tremendous effort. Beirne was immense.

Nothing unseen about Beirne. Shows you how good the slip was, making the seen unseen.

Heaslip talks some about of shite.

At least Munster will always have a bit of bottle and heart unlike the northern chaps. Big win and this nonsense of the coach leaving now needs to stop, focus on the next game and try to make something of the season ahead

Sorry but they gave a gritty display and overturned a terrible start IN SPITE OF Van Gran, not because of him. The guy should be hunted NOW.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

They will in their hoop pay out his contract AND pay someone else til seasons end.

Gave tonight's game a skip over Covid. In all honesty the gate would have been similar irrespective of restrictions.

Even though the red card was correct, I don't think the TMO should be over-ruling a referee - Adamson had exactly the same view as the TMO and had decided Yellow but the TMO effectivelt over-ruled him. IMO The TMO can point out an issue to the referee but once the ref makes a decision, that should be it.

The rules are crazy IMO - a glancing shoulder to the head is a red but a blatant spear tackle is not, because the player doesn't land on his head - can't make sense of that.

Refs interpretation is so different - Adamson allows a rolling maul to be held up and never forces the offence team to use the ball but the ref in the Connaught game constantly demanded the ball be used whenever there was even a slight pause on forward momentum of a rolling maul - confusing for players.
