As an aside, Larkham's influence makes Munster a whole lot better to watch.

Posted: **Sat Dec 19, 2020 6:18 pm**

Seeing why Lopez is not an intl FH. With all these riches, he really has no game man skills. Would be interesting to see Barraque at 10.

Posted: **Sat Dec 19, 2020 6:31 pm**

As a Munster fan...the good of the half...somehow only down 12....the bad...everything else.

Just hope they put up a little fight in the 2nd and get that scrum under control...hot garbage...

Really enjoying watching Penaud play so physical...

Posted: **Sat Dec 19, 2020 6:43 pm**

Can we have Owens back?

Posted: **Sat Dec 19, 2020 6:45 pm**

Yeah. F**k this. Cyclops reffing

Posted: **Sat Dec 19, 2020 6:59 pm**

This is a joke. That's a straight pen to ASM for the Munster player running a blocking line.

ASM should take a leaf from RCT and walk. Total bent reffing.

Posted: **Sat Dec 19, 2020 7:09 pm**

I hope ASM put in an official complaint after this. Blatant knock on by Munster and then he finds a reason to penalise ASM: could easily have been the other way for holding on but should not have got to that point.

Posted: **Sat Dec 19, 2020 7:11 pm**

Yeah....tough calls against ASM...but correct call on that yellow...

Posted: **Sat Dec 19, 2020 7:12 pm**

What a comeback, hell of an effort

Posted: **Sat Dec 19, 2020 7:13 pm**

nice play off the throw in for the rolling into the try....nice...

Clermont has not been done right today...but great fight out of Munster....

Clermont coming apart...Munster going for the corner

Posted: **Sat Dec 19, 2020 7:22 pm**

Try for me

Posted: **Sat Dec 19, 2020 7:24 pm**

that's a try...what a come back by Munster...holy sh!t.....gwan Munster

Remarkable, nearly switched to the football after 20 mins

I stopped watching the last 15 of the 1st half but said screw it and said lets watch the 2nd to see if they punch back....

If not, the wife would have put it on xmas movies :)

Well played Munster, very impressive

How many saffas are there in this game? SAle vs Edinburgh.

Posted: **Sat Dec 19, 2020 8:07 pm**

Penalty for trapping a player on the ground!!

Posted: **Sat Dec 19, 2020 9:29 pm**

Now this game is starting to get interesting too

Rob du Preez looks like he should be running a division of India in 1894

Posted: **Sat Dec 19, 2020 9:40 pm**

Another weak TMO guide; but Poite wasn't listening

Posted: **Sat Dec 19, 2020 9:41 pm**

Pointe bottles the red. TMO clearly thought it was a red card.

Did I hear her half interrupt him when he made his decision ?

I think she just looked at the clock & decided it wasn't worth the discussion

A more experienced TMO would’ve said ‘I’ll just let you look at it at full speed so you can see the impact properly’.

It didn't mess up the result; but there'll be a few refs getting harsh reviews next week, because they didn't have good comms with their TMOs; & I think the citing commissioners will have some work to clean up.

This is why Clermont will NEVER be champions in Europe, absolutely spineless team, great when its all going their way, as soon as it gets a bit difficult they fold like a paper plane.

+1

it was like 15 different players out there, once Munster started fighting back.

Posted: **Sun Dec 20, 2020 3:50 pm**

Quins getting absolutely leathered by Racing. Fourth best in every department, never mind second.

Posted: **Sun Dec 20, 2020 3:52 pm**

Flake doing his best to give away his customary, turnover try. Would rather have Smith at FH for Racing.

Ref was shocking but pointed out before I bailed (saw it coming) that ASM would need to adapt (i.e. play territory). They didn't. They can't because Lopez (like Russell) is a headless chook with no tactical nous which is why neither side can win,

Posted: **Sun Dec 20, 2020 4:01 pm**

F**K off Russell you lazy tw*t.

Posted: **Sun Dec 20, 2020 4:02 pm**

Still awaiting a performance to suggest russell would've won more than 5 caps for any other NH nation

One of the most over rated players currently playing the game. If Racing (or ASM) had Carbonel at FH, they'd be close to unbeatable at this level. His tedious use of the chip kick reminds me of Fluke: who also cost his sides more games than he won.

Posted: **Sun Dec 20, 2020 4:20 pm**

Racing doing alright really.

Posted: **Sun Dec 20, 2020 4:30 pm**

Quins discipline poor again this week. Must be close to yellow.

Posted: **Sun Dec 20, 2020 4:41 pm**

Russell lucky not to get yellow for that.

Posted: **Sun Dec 20, 2020 4:44 pm**

I see Russells 9th kick of the game worked out so he's worlds best again, jesus christ

Commentators seem blind to all his deficiencies. Blows another try attempting a chistera.
