5 points in Thomond, not too shabby.

The definition of a shaper. While our young second row starter focused on his job of carrying dirty ball and cleaning out with menace, Wycherley did his usual hard man impression.

Brilliant defence there at the end, nice way to finish.

Well done boys :happy clapper:

The difference is massive. Murray also looks so slow. Both are a hand break of the ability to play at tempo

Our coaching team got that selection absolutely bang on.
Owned the ball, got east lineout ball and tucked like demons for 50 mins, then sprung the far superior front 5 on the bench.

The faces on the Munster coaches at the end said it all there, oof.

Munster didn’t do a whole lot to get their points in the first half, Ross didn’t have his kicking boots on, and their real purple patch was only when they made changes after we’d got the killer score. As enby said, it was men against boys.

I said before the game that I wanted Lowe and JGP to not get too loose and they didn’t, and neither did the rest of the team. We showed great control for the most part and it worked really well. All the backs were really good, just pure class from everyone. Doris and VDF particularly good up front, I thought VDF was MOTM by miles.

I was worried about our front five but they all did well. Fair play to them for sorting out the scrum after last week and special mention to Jack Dunne. Can’t be easy to play a big Interpro when the coaches haven’t backed you and you’re off in a few weeks but he put in a big shift.

Given that he’s coming to us next season how did Babbling Brookers feel about Jenkins general performance tonight?

Agree JVDF was the standout player on the pitch.

Andy Farrell must now re-examine the Joey situation. Munster backs looked far better with him at full back and Healy at 10. Ross utterly outplayed him.
JOB must be in with a chance as a springer for the NZ tour

Didn’t think he looked fit.

Ed Byrne was really good too. Carried hard, no issues in scrum and like all of our staring front row his rucking was class.

Didnt impress but I guess he hasn't had a lot of game time.

Jack Dunne was good alright. Used his bulk well and carried well also.

Would expect to see him play a good bit in SA.
