Hell of a step for a big man by Hodnett. Great finish.
I don't know how we are still in this game, with the amount of turnovers, still mistakes, penalties we've given away
Even more amazing you’re still just a converted try away from winning after more of the same for the first half of the second half.

The squad next week will be amazing coombes and daly will come back in and wonder where everyone went
Feck’s sake. A game that’s been absolutely stacked with mistakes, by both sides, finishes with a bad one from Crowley. Castre will be wondering how the hell they came so close to losing that game. Munster were so poor.
Crowley with a Josh Ioane special there 
What an electric start to Leinster Clermont. Breathless stuff.
This match is ridiculous
Outrageous passage of play just now
Also, I love Prendergast’s passing. It’s always absolutely bang on, runners never seem to break stride. Contrasts massively with his kicking

Both teams giving absolutely everything
Who’d have thought this would be the close match as opposed to Leicester Sharks.Surely the second half will be appalling

Expect Leinster to blow them away in the second though
Hmmm… Munster with a horribly error strewn loss yesterday. Leinster with a horribly error strewn win today. Ireland with a horribly error strewn November series. I’m starting to see a pattern here. And it’s not a good pattern.

You don’t like his kicking? Out of hand he’s been excellent (if we ignore those two missed touches
) Off the tee, there’s room for improvement, to be fair.Last week both teams looked superb and the week before Munster looked like yesterday but won, it’s week to week, I don’t know what’s going on with the mindset of these players, I do think the game management is hindering the way Munster play and the amount of injuries.
That’s a stunning try.
I actually ment off the tee (I wasn’t watching 100% so missed the missed touches). The few times I’ve watched him he’s missed some very getable kicks. Sorry for Ireland is I don’t think there’s a great alternative if he plays 10, I think the next in line is probably JGP? No idea for Leinster, maybe the sameYou don’t like his kicking?

Imagine going all the way to Italy to watch a 2nd/3rd string lose in the last second. Strange one from JvG to insist on rotating that heavily.
Maybe he thinks after the La Rochelle defeat, with Leinster to come, that there’s no point qualifying if you’re going to be seeded really low for the knockouts.
Newcastle away next week and I really think a few could have been rested then instead.

Decent news on the injury front for Casey, it's his meniscus that he injured, hrs booked for surgery and could be back in 8 weeks, it's an area we are alright in with Murray and Patterson.
Tis the season to get injured, nank injured now by o toole collapsing on his leg.
These fecking Tools. Clumsy bastards
This match is a bit of a grim watch so far.
That’s more like it. Although can’t believe Crowley is only 4 from 15 kicking in this competition. Shocking.
Most of our tries have been on the wings, that doesn't aid him in his kicking endeavors, also 2 of the games were in storms, still it isn't good enough
Aye, fair. It does get pretty breezy in the South West! Not a breath of wind tonight by the looks of things. Currently a conversion the difference between the two teams.
EDIT: Spoke too soon. Great try. Another touchline conversion for Jack!
Jaysus. Not even close.
That was bad
Second half more than made up for the first. Brilliant entertainment. Well done Munster. Under the cosh but their defence was just a level above Ulster’s.
He got one in the end, that was a cracking 2nd half, but what does this mean, United and Munster can win in the same weekend or was last night the loss
Seemed fairly dirty to me. I see some people saying on Twitter that's it was a soft red but it looked pretty reckless/ deliberate to me.
It was dirty, but I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt, it looked like he was attempting to catch/lift the lower leg until he got an help from behind which made it all a little to fast for him, hopefully Nank is ok but I’d be surprised, oh and what were ye thinking in leaving Farrell go.
It’s good to see some young players getting a run out as well in O Connell and coughlan who looked quite composed and the jersey fit him unlike last season when it was 2 sizes to big, Ulster have a big talent in the front row in Wilson he had some big carries into contact for them.
Apparently his injury record? I don't remember why we let him go but we were all gutted when we did. He's always been that gamechanging player.
Great 2nd half from Connaught
Connacht
He's right. Jordie Barrett should have been off. TMO didn't even look at it.
@T00lsh3d tough afternoon for Doncaster down in Cornwall. That might be the coldest I’ve ever been at a game of rugby.
