Northampton Saints vs Munster

[An Tarbh]

looks like the Munster scrum is unsurprisingly in for a long night. Geraghty misses the penalty though.

 

[An Tarbh]

not the finest chip from Geraghty but Earls makes a balls of it and Ashton finishes it off.

 

[Sir Speedy]

Lovely dropgoal by Warwick.

 

[Olyy]

That was a cracking DG

 

[An Tarbh]

quality option for Munster to have.

 

[An Tarbh]

Earls makes amends with that chip through for Wallace.

 

[Olyy]

Try for wallace! No conv
8 - 8

 

[An Tarbh]

O'Gara does love these adidas balls!

 

[An Tarbh]

O'Gara finally manages to land a kick.

11-8 Munster 32 mins.

 

[An Tarbh]

Geraghty levels the scores after a much better strike with that penalty.

11-11 34 mins.

 

[An Tarbh]

typical O'Gara, misses some easy kicks and then lands the difficult one.

14-11 Munster 37 mins.

 

[An Tarbh]

that's twice now Munster have conceded very easy penalties after scoring themselves.

Geraghty slots the kick.

14-14 38 mins.

 

[An Tarbh]

strong finish to the half from Saints and yet again Munster concede another penalty.

Geraghty takes a quick one and is in for the try. Munster go to sleep. No doubts about the grounding.

 

[Sir Speedy]

Geraghty scores and puts Northampton seven points ahead.

21 - 14 half time score.

 

[Olyy]

Saints try at 41ish mins, converted,
14 - 21 going into halftime

I wasn't expecting the game to be this good, tbh. I was expecting a kicking match/penalty exchange, but there's been some great running rugby, and it's been pretty fast paced so far

Roll on 2nd half!

 

[An Tarbh]

Cracking match, Saints look like they've got so much more to come as well, Munster will be doing well to get a bonus point out of this one.

What a superb match - some great performances from Geraghty, Lawes, Dowson and Hartley (in that order) and they're sure to push them further up the international reckoning. Cracking, Cracking game. O'Leary looks like he's never seen a rugby ball before

 

[Stillknox]

Great game and great crowd. This is the Heineken Cup we like.

Geraghty has a good chance to wear the 10 jersey for England in november with his current form...

 

[Sir Speedy]

Ashton scores a second!

 

[An Tarbh]

lovely break and pass from Geraghty, he's having a stormer.
