COOONNNEEEEYYYY with a sneaky scrum-half try!

Ha, Munster only have them selves to blame for that, brainless

They were too busy engaging Hendo in handbags.

And a fab Ulster try!

two good interventions from Balacoune there

Second try for Moore – maybe!

That’s not a try.
Keith Earls is some bloody rugby player, great defence there

If that’s at Thomond that is not a try

Ulster well worth their lead, another try towards the end of that half would have killed the game.
I’ve just realised that I’ve developed a Robson Filter, like noise-cancelling headphones, I heard no commentary and somehow managed to filter out the constant white noise from him.
Result.

Ticht – Earls is defo Munster’s best player tonight. But I saw POM get a bit of a steely, TCod-ish look towards the end of the half there. I fear for the second.
LikeLike
I really don’t know who Ireland’s next fly-half will be. Carbery ain’t it.
Young Moore seems to be doing pretty well at full-back, so maybe Lowry gets some more time at 10 (his preferred position) and develops.

The younger Byrne at the Bad Guys looks promising, Thaum

Murray not coming back from his HIA.
Ulsterrr!

Ticht – he’s not great. At least, not yet.

YEEEESSSSS! Timoney runs 40 metres (that’s what he’ll tell you later) to score the BP try!
LikeLike
Oh shit, Cooney gets charged down and it’s a Munster try, TMO willing.
LikeLike
Oh no, it looks like a knock-on!
LikeLike
Oh dear
Cooney got away with one, he took the last leg of the caterpillar out before that

Thaum, what the Marseillaise song the Ulster fans are singing?

Ticht – dunno; haven’t noticed it!

Can only hear ‘stand up for the Ulstermen’.

Hume’s gotta be MotM.

Earls might just have done something very agile to score.

Pro would have loved that finish, I’m sure
LikeLike
Yep. That was amazing.

But luckily Earls has now knocked on in his own 22!
LikeLike
Aye, see, he should have smiled, really

… Or just outside it.

Doak on for Cooney, who seems to have some kind of niggly injury.

Quite a few handling errors in perfect conditions tonight

Another great Ulster try

TRY Hume!

That has to be it now

Ticht – Munster got the ball, and I started saying to the mister, it’s okay, they’ll knock it on in a min- and they did.

I think Munster are just waiting for Van Graan to be gone.

Fucking Earls again!
Thought I saw a knock-on on the build-up, but oh well.

McIlroy with an intercept, but didn’t manage to go all the way for some reason. Bit disappointing. McCloskey makes a bit of a save, but….
LikeLike
… well, it ends up with a Munster scrum.
LikeLike
Hume indeed gets MotM – and it’s over! A convincing win.

Hendo was my POTM, and he makes the point right at the end there
