Munster v Perpignan PUNCH UP!!!!!!!!! don't care who wins, just want to see a good fight! oh okay then, I'm saying Munster, its thomond park, isn't it. who else are you going to pick?

Edinburgh vs Glaws - I think Edinburgh have a shot at a win at home vs a rather flaky English team. Gloucester should know they are in trouble when the opposing team starts handing the ball to Johnny May and saying, "Ah go on then. Have a run mate, give those poor frozen sods in the shed over there something to clap, it'll help keep their hands warm."

Leicester a really thoughtful and caring team really.

Swear Laulala was tip tackled a minute ago - full on 180deg.
He took treatment after it, and looked incredibly p***ed off, but the ref didn't even acknowledge it.
Also missed a high tackle on Murphy.




Ah, that would've been a brilliant try but for a terrible pass from Earls. He could've just passed it normally, no need for a basketball pass.

Also, there's nothing better than seeing POM getting smashed by a fend from a fullback :lol:

 

[ruggabee]

They looked knackered. Keatley couldn't even find the gas to chase that ball.

 

[Tony Manx]

Then they ping Charteris for a late tackle based solely on the crowd reaction!! Not clever....................

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Yeah, that late tackle call was terrible - but you expect that at Thomond Park.

Real end to end game, loving it so far.

 

[Groundhog]

Wasn't anything in that 'late tackle'. Still don't think we're defending hard enough. We need to be just a bit more clinical. We're against a poor side.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Really can't understand why the Glos Edinburgh match isn't being shown.

 

[ruggabee]

Good pace Earls!

 

[Tony Manx]

Well taken try.............breakdown, is it my eyes or is it now the norm that you can dive over the fallen player and prevent the ball emerging on the defending side without the possibility of being penalised?

I understand the case of the player who lands face down in the act of clearing out but in this game everyone seems to just do a Tom Daly (and i do not mean coming out) and landing, usually, on the wrong side and it is not only this game either!

 

[Big Ewis]

so, the USAP has sucked all day according to the commentator...just got here. How's the game, how's Munster ?

 

[ruggabee]

Second half has been really disjointed. Lots of mistakes. Munster only need one more try for the BP but making it more difficult than necessary.

edit. Just as I say that Munster up the tempo and have gained a penalty for a lineout 5 metres out.

edit 2. Sheridan looks like Stringer with hair.

Penalty try and they've bagged the BP.

Irish teams with some big results here this weekend, nice !
Very disappointing to see the USAP down 22-3 here though...they've got some nice pieces in that team.

 

[Tony Manx]

Have not seen a decent performance from a French team this weekend............did not watch the ASM game................so can only hope that Montpellier can show that there really is some talent in the Top 14 capable of playing as a team and being competitive!!!

Biarritz, Castres, Toulon and now Perpignan have all been dire (although BO did play better than they have all season which is not saying a lot!!)

It has been a good weekend but in Munster's case they should really have wrapped up the game a lot earlier. Perpignan have been pretty terrible.

haha, that's right.
Well you're right. Perpignan and Racing absolutely bad, esp. Racing yesterday. Toulon and Castres with wins, and the former on the road so that's fine but narrow and uncharacteristically lackluster. Castres with no try at all.

I'm not counting on Montpellier tonight, but Toulouse better bring it and Clermont looked very, very good the other day.

Sorry I forgot Racing which is probably the best thing to do!!

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Generous advantage that. Munster are far superior but the ref is playing a bit of a homer.

 

[Big Ewis]

that was forward ??.....mmmmm...
