Good game so far but the injuries are piling up for Munster.

[Tichtheid]

This is brutal

[Uncle fester]

G'wan the lads.

[Tichtheid]

Glasgow could well rue those easy three pointers

[tcc_dc]

great little try there...go on Munster

[tcc_dc]

dirty hit there on Murray at first glance...did not see arms on the tackle

[Tichtheid]

clear cut red

[tcc_dc]

yep...red card...

[Uncle fester]

That's terrible. No excuse for going so high.

[Uncle fester]

Glasgow could well rue those easy three pointers

Yep, think they thought the 7 points would come easy.

[tcc_dc]

Another try for Munster...

[TheNatalShark]

Glasgow going to get a few more yellows this game, completely out of jt

[fishfoodie]

With the attrition so far, I think Leinsters Minis could be sent out to face whatever battered team mkes it thru this game

There was a penalty scored by them in March and it had been their first penalty goal since December. It's been working for them so far this season, but knock out rugby is a different game.

Car crash stuff. Put any Scottish team under the slightest pressure and the result is inevitable.

That's exactly it.

Plenty of time left for them to pull themselves back into the game yet.

[Blackmac]

That in from the side call was ridiculous.

[TheNatalShark]

Whatever the refs decision, weegies have given up any pretence of playing with discipline since carf

[tcc_dc]

Glasgow...uhhhhmmm...wake up

[CM11]

Glasgow...uhhhhmmm...wake up

Can't see them winning from here.

[fishfoodie]

Glasgow...uhhhhmmm...wake up

They should have just copied Connacht from last night, & take 3 when they're offered.

It's perfectly possible that Munster have someone sent off too, & not getting any kind of score in the half is what loses Glasgow the game.

[TheNatalShark]

Way the game was going best thing they could do is not come out after HT and save any injuries/suspensions from the challenge cup final

[Blackmac]

Fagerson taking out Dempsey. He can be one dumb player.

Fair point.

[Blackmac]

Kicking away possession isn't going to get then back in this game.

[Blackmac]

Munster getting away with murder there in defence.

[Uncle fester]

Need to get Loughman off

[Blackmac]

This is brainless rugby from Glasgow.

[Tichtheid]

Munster's energy in defence has been outstanding all night.

Glasgow look great when teams let them run amok, but Munster have shut them down very successfully.

I think they could hammer away all night but Horne is not helping by giving up ground time and again with aimless box kicks.

[Tichtheid]

Glasgow have just taken their kicker off

[Blackmac]

That was soft. Not high at all.

[fishfoodie]

That's a rubbish penalty.

[tcc_dc]

nice pass and try for Glasgow...big kick coming

[Blackmac]

Just how low was Tuipolotu meant to be there. He is virtually bent double.

Yep.

It's that kind of situation where the current laws just don't seem fair.

[Tichtheid]

I don't know if that is clever or not, it runs down the clock but there must have been space out wide with only 13 players in opposition

[Blackmac]

Well done Munster. Incredibly solid performance regardless of the cards.

Glasgow would probably get more value from watching the Munster video recap next week, than their own.

It might now have much razzle dazzle, but they won while only scoring twice, defended brilliantly throughout, & managed the clock in the 2nd half. It was them showing the grit, after losing a slew of key players that Glasgow need to learn.

[Slick]

Why is the Leinster crowd so small?

I'd say a lot are holding onto their money for the Final, or the HEC final.

Too many games, & too many Euros per ticket !

I’m sure I heard them say something about capacity was set at 19,000 and they had sold 16,000. Wonder what that is about
