Saints will have to win with a bonus point against Munster to still stand a chance of making the play-offs and even then; Quins will beat Connacht and Edinburgh will probably come away with a point against Irish, Clermont stand a good chance of beating Ulster at home so there really isn't a chance anymore for Saints in my mind.
Decent game so far. Munster scrum in real trouble and conceded a penalty try cos of it. Munster not really in their rhythm yet
Look to have found it after that stolen line out,
As you said: Scrum is getting demolished, but I think Munster look better than Saints ball in hand.

Northampton screwing up at restart time. That missed one led to a try for BJ Botha.
I must say I'm surprised, I thought Munster were going to get pulverised. There's still 40 to go though.
Another botched restart collection from Northampton, Zebo has been sniping round that area for the inevitable fumbles. Big try to start the half, super finish from Murphy
Munster punish Saints at the restart again and get a converted try for their troubles!
Murphy and Zebo are playing very well tonight.
Ryan and Coughlan class as well.
Edit:
Great try for Zebo there!
Could've had a case for the TMO with regards to his hand going out of bounds before grounding the ball
Thought the last pass was going to be called back for forward as well, but great work by Munster.

Possibly key try that. Last pass had a hint of forward I thought. Not taking away from a superb move
Yea I think that was probably forward but still nice hands

Botha can not scrum against Tonga'uiha than again not many can.
Always going to get another Penalty try there. It's almost like Northampton are scrumming against Clifton Rfc rather than Munster
Munster playing fantastic without having a scrum. God imagine if we had a scrum. Really fun game to watch.
"Zebo Zebo" being chanted round the stadium 
Zebo have my children
Donnacha Ryan has to start for Ireland somewhere, his workrate is superb.
Actually....please drop him. He'd be terrible a real liability
Zebo's in again!

Terrific spirt and resolve from the entire Munster team there! Form is temporary and class is permanent... showed the mental fortitude that wins big games today.
Zebo was awesome, really showed his true potential today, haven't seen Earls produce that kind of thing in a while (probably from being shunted into no.13)... that was just one of those games that drains you from watching it.
However Munster need to improve their scrum, general shape of play (esp. in the backs), and keep working on their concentration and handling.
