Carbery? His only memorable moment was kicking the start of second half dead....

Who ?? My son said some lad kept missing tackles in the midfield , was that him ??

Seriously though he looks way off the pace still and a lot of gametime needed but hard to know today considering the dross Murray was serving up.

Yes, Yes, and Yes again.
We tore them a new one! Didn't I say we would!
Munster never fired a shot.

And gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby, I don't want to live FOREVER!

Our much underrated (not by Leinster fans) backrow were brilliant to a man. Totally outplayed their opposite numbers individually and as a unit. Super stuff.

As RTB said: Munster's players are better than that. They deserve better.The centres killed every play.

On the plus side Coombes again showed his class.
Easy to say after a win but I genuinely feel sorry for POM CJ and some of the older Munster players. They clearly have some great players but they seem to run out of ideas after a few phases. Think they expected a purple patch but errors and Leinster pressure meant they never got a foothold.

Not sure we’ve had a more dominant performance against Munster in the past 10 years. You can worry about the points left on the pitch etc but realistically, once Conan went over for our try, we were never losing that game.

From a Munster perspective, I actually wouldn’t blame any of their players there. They have a pretty excellent squad. For me, as long as van Graan is in charge, and honestly Larkham too, they’ll never achieve anything. Absolutely clueless performance tactically.

How good was Ronan Kelleher today? Dominant in scrum, huge in the carry and caused powerful in defence.

His throwing was good too bar one.

Serious talent.

This is childish but I can't resist
Funnily enough I watched that (my favourite film as it happens) yesterday
It's an absolute gem of a flick. Great action, dialogue, soundtrack.

Anytime I have sympathy for them I think of Horan in final in 2011 and it stokes the fire again

They’ve played some great stuff recently but it seems to me as if JVG makes them tighten up in every big game. There was one box kick to Keenan/Sexton that was just so stupid and smacked of conservative tactics rather than anything player driven. Appreciate that conditions were tough but we managed to play good stuff so why couldn’t they? Obviously it helps if you get go forward but they just offered nothing.

Well done boys, well done coaches and back room team.

Well done to all the lads who got us here but didn’t get to line out today.

Look at some of those Munster stalwarts who’ve won nothing in their careers, never take these moments for granted.
Exactly, when Fardy came here he hadn't won any silverware now he stands on. 5. Fingers crossed he leaves with another

I don’t remember shouting at the referee. He must have been OK.

Cian Tracey said that JVG has lost 9/10 games against Leinster! So the one win was when Lowe was sent off and they even played poorly in that one.

It means absolutely nothing now, but can anyone tell me how Haley's kick in the second half up our right wing wasn't out on the full?! It landed on the other side of the line!

Great win for the lads. Really happy with that performance. Very impressed with their cohesion, ambition and competitiveness. Just a treat to watch.

Amazing that Leavy, Connors, Doris would probably be a better back row and that we could have Murphy, Penny, Deegan as an alternate.
