Heineken Cup 2013/14 Pool 6, Round 4 (USAP v Munster, Gloucester v Edinburgh)

How does a referee work out whether one penalty cancels out another?
He was playing advantage for an infringement in the lineout, but then the USAP player was tackled in the air during advantage, and he went back for the initial penalty. Is there a scale where, say, advantage for offside is cancelled out by a high tackle etc?

Gawd knows!!

If Munster get their heads together at half time, execute their game plan with some accruacy in the next 40 and do not let USAP (or Doyle's actions) wind them up..............they are still capable of a bonus point win here surely?

 

[Big Ewis]

no no, forget it I'm watching it noW.
so munster scored a try eh

 

[ruggabee]

It was a penalty try.

 

[Big Ewis]

Guitoune reminds that pundit of Saint-André, huh ? Maybe that's why he loves Guitoune himself, similar flair and low center of gravity, it's true.

 

[Big Ewis]

It was a penalty try.

K thanks. That's pretty impressive, Perpignan have shown some strong scrummaging this year...quite a Munstrous scrum.

 

[Feicarsinn]

Jesus, go to the TMO for that kick!

 

[Big Ewis]

Jesus, go to the TMO for that kick!

I'd imagine it's slightly wide, but honestly inconclusive from those two replays.

 

[Big Ewis]

magnificent.
Bravo les Catalans.

 

[Tony Manx]

Poor defence Munster............well taken USAP!!!

 

[Feicarsinn]

Nicely worked try there from Perpignan, but Munster should be sick about that. Perprignan didn't do anything fancy, they just went wide and fixed their men. Very poor defense.

a perfect passing sequence. Perfect timing from each stage of the play...but still something Munster could've have halted, surely.
Beautiful ending though. Some flair, suspense, and finally a damn try.

 

[Aristodemus]

Wow, quite a finish!

 

[ruggabee]

What a try!!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Heartbreaking for USAP - they deserved to win.

 

[Big Ewis]

awwww fk...too bad.

 

[Big Ewis]

poor, poor, poor Perpignan, but that was nice from Munster...
too bad, really could've used a French win those Top 14 teams...especially at home.

 

[Feicarsinn]

Perpignan will be very disappointed. I wonder would the outcome have been different if JP Doyle had gone upstairs to check either of those 2 Perpignan kicks.

nah, don't think so...they just lost the game, and never should have allowed that last try. mmmmm, so disappointing for the USAP !!...
