Hopefully we'll see the real Munster today. Conditions are good and both teams like to play expansive rugby so expect tries.

Munster really should be winning by more Keatley's missed two and they really should have scored some tries.

 

[big ginger 8]

Good, quick thinking by Murray there finally a try. 13-0

Am I the only one watching this? Great mauling by Munster and PO'M gets over. 23-0 need two tries with 8 minutes left probably unlikely. Highly probable Edinburgh will be nilled for the second week in a row.

As I type this Munster score a wonderful try. Doughall now 2 tries in 2 H Cup games. Hanrahan also on for Downey. 28-0

And Varley secures the bonus point with the last play again off a maul. 33-0 final score. Edinburgh nilled and thrashed two weeks in a row.

Probably! Was result ever in doubt? Mind you Cardiff game was not up to much other than huge effort from the Blues................

I was flicking between this and the Cardiff/Toulon game, but mostly watching the latter.
Not suprised at the result, but Edinburgh had an OKish first half - very good defence, anyway. Couldn't hold on forever like that though.
Another nilling won't do much for their moral though....

I can't see Munster getting out of their pool playing like this, however.

Anyone else been impressed by Kilcoyne? I don't know much about him but he has been one of Munster's most prominent carriers and seems to be more than holding his own in the scrum. Is he worth a try at international level? Might as well give him an opportunity considering Ireland's prop position.

O'Mahoney and Dougall both has very good games and POC has returned very well. Murray was better than last week but not worthy of MOTM. I thought Keatley had a pretty good game but Downey isn't being used right. They're bypassing him to go wide and it's not working. I don't think the Downey/Lualala combination is working, It just doesn't have enough spark. Earls is really needed at this moment as he will pose a far greater threat in midfield.

Agreed

I definitely think so I'd give him the bench spot. First really noticed him in the B&I Final last year where he was really good.
