Munster Rugby 2021/2022 - Search for the Holy Grail

[Dave Cahill]

That's a decent number alright, all things considered - Cork and Kerry in action today in the football, Limerick and Tipp tomorrow in the hurling

[riocard911]

Hearing that €39k tickets are now sold for this game.
Not a sell out by any means, but not a bad number for what is essentially an away game.

Just getting ready now as I’m planning on getting up there early to soak in the atmosphere and show my 5 year old what it’s like to attend a big European game.

It's a Thomond and a half. Decent enough considering crowds still aren't back to normal.

Hope you have a good day win or lose, and that it's a win.

+1. SUAF!!!

I think I was probably expecting a bit much thinking that Munster could fill the stadium for this game.

Especially when you consider that the Leinster v Connacht game was far from a sell out.
I think a lot of people are still very cautious when it comes to big crowds.

In addition to that, Toulouse will hardly have a big travelling crew, so much of the nearly 40k tickets sold will likely be to Munster fans.

A big problem for many is that it would be easier to get to a game outside the country than to get to Dublin, as much of the province is a considerable distance away from the Aviva.
For example my brother is travelling nearly 4 hours from where he lives in Kerry, which makes it a long round trip.

Thanks a million for the support.
Hopefully we get to meet in the Semi.

Josh Wycherley and Kendellan have been incredible in the first ten minutes. Great start!

[riocard911]

Just what Munster needed. Kendellen try off a lineout. 7-0 after 10 mins.

[riocard911]

Tús maith, leath na hoibre....

[riocard911]

Wow!. Toulouse strike back and score a try, Ntamack, after a line break by Ramos within seconds of going behind.

[riocard911]

Munster giving possession away too easily, IMO.

[the spoofer]

Good fast game so far.

[riocard911]

Second scrum peno conceded by Munster - on their five yard line..........

[Logorrhea]

no scrum no win

[LeRouxIsPHat]

Who could have foreseen that the continued selection of Archer for the last couple of seasons would come back to haunt Munster in a big game?

[riocard911]

And concede a third scrum peno - but it doesn't matter. Ball goes out Ramos taps down in the far corner.

[riocard911]

Ramos converts. 7-14, 27 mins.

[LeRouxIsPHat]

Said it before the game that Toulouse aren’t clinical enough and Munster just need to hang in there. They’ve been totally dominant since Munster scored their try but you look at the score…Munster only 7 behind.

[riocard911]

Great lineout steal by PO'M leads to a peno from 40 yards out in front of the sticks. Carbery misses....

[riocard911]

Earls in the corner!!!

[riocard911]

Carbery gets a difficult conversion from the right side line. 14-14 40 mins

[Logorrhea]

Some job to lock out those last few scrums in that half. Great work there.

[riocard911]

HT: 14-14. Munster can be happy with that, I reckon.
