This has to be the poorest ever Munster team I have ever seen.....
Have Toyota left/been sacked as lead sponsor of the Irish boys?
Bank Of Ireland are back few years. Toyota contract expired and on renewals Bank Of Ireland had better deal.

This is embarrassing.
They say a yellow card is worth, what, 10pts?
A red card at halftime should be worth 40.
Currently it's worth -10.
In the Stadium here and even some Stade people said it was a red. It may not have been malicious but 2 clear things are seen.
1. He went near the eyes. That was nothing but stupidity from the player.
2. If you look at slow motion his fingers go inward as its a grabbing motion so that just shows you obviously don't kno rules well.
.
The Munster player doesn't even blink afterwards. If you get a finger into your eyes, you will be in agony. You can't keep your eye open. You can't see.
Trying to be fair here.......the Munster lad looked straightaway at the linesman whilst pointing to his eye!
I also still think that the hand went to the face and in doing so the finger ended in the eye more by physics than intent. Real time speed would show this and slow motion replays can exaggerate matters.
However, put you hand on someone's face, then you have a big chance of catching an eye and a red card!
On the basis of the slow motion, I do not feel Bevan or Owens had any choice but they should have looked again at real time.....
This is my point thanks Tony.
CJ doesn't have to go down in agony. The man puts his hand in the face. I don't know was it intentional but it was a red.
I would only add that I do think any ban, which there must be I suppose, should not be very long.....
So did I... until I saw the Toulon team:
15 James O'Connor
14 Josua Tuisova
13 Mathieu Bastareaud
12 Ma'a Nonu
11 Bryan Habana
10 Quade Cooper
9 Eric Escande
1 Florian Fresia
2 Guilhem Guirado
3 Levan Chilachava
4 Jocelino Suta
5 Konstantine Mikautadze
6 Juan Smith
7 Juan Fernandez Lobbe (capt)
8 Duane Vermeulen
On his feet? His belly was holding him up!!
Nonu and Bastareaud vs Ford and Eastmond is going to be.....interesting.
I don't understand why Cook doesn't start more. I like a 9 who does all the basics well and consistently, which Cook seems to.
Aye, he's so far ahead of Matawalu as a 9 he can't even see him in the rear view mirror. Only thing I can think is they're wanting to get their money's worth.I don't understand why Cook doesn't start more. I like a 9 who does all the basics well and consistently, which Cook seems to.
