HEC: Munster - Northampton Saints (12-11-2011)

[BRSTLDRGN]

The work-rate by Lawes is incredible, such a machine.

Like most England players playing this weekend Lawes has come out determined to shove the words of criticism aimed at him during the WC down their throats. He's a better player than what he has showed at international level since his introduction.

We should have held on to Artemyev when we him.

 

[BRSTLDRGN]

Ben got Fo-done by Howlett there. Thats a kick in the perineum to Northampton though, as said on the commentary, they've got to start from scratch in the second half.

 

[Seaton]

Please tell me I wasn't the only one that thought there was a knock on in the build up to that last try?

 

[BRSTLDRGN]

No you weren't, there was a clear one. Hence the nailed on excuse for Saints supporters should they lose it.

 

[Gavin]

Please tell I wasn't the only one that thought there wasn't a knock on in the build up to that last try?

Yeah I knew it was a knock-on; glad it wasn't given

 

[BRSTLDRGN]

Nice try from Downey, brilliant set up pass from ROG

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

That try cancels out the knock-on try in the first half.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Been a great game, this

 

[BRSTLDRGN]

Agonizingly close from Artemyev, just needed to collect the bobbling ball and was over but knocked it on

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

John Hayes 100 HEC Caps, well done.

 

[lucky number 7]

39 phases , that was amazing. Very Munster.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Oh My God. And I thought Sextons kick took balls. O'Gara you F**king Beaut. Munster epitome oh the Heineken cup. Brilliant.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Aye, great work to keep hold of the ball, and smooth DG by ROG

Thought they were going to get turned over or give away a penalty when Manoa smashed Mafi back about 5m

Not an ideal result for Saints, but they took a point from Thomond Park, a notoriously difficult place to play. Just need to make sure they give Munster nothing at Stadium:MK

Em....my heart...it's beating strangely...I think I nearly just died.

What a game, what a finish

 

[lucky number 7]

That was the most tense few minutes of rugby I've ever seen

 

[Gavin]

I shouted when O'Gara lined up that drop goal - NOOOOO; but he got it

 

[dangandan]

What an unbelievable finish. I don't think a rugby game has ever made my heart beat that fast. Seriously amazing stuff to hold the ball for that many phases and get the win in the dying minute.

 

[Muse_Cubed]

Wow. Just wow.

I is sad. All credit to Munster for the finish but I do feel a little robbed.
