Fekitoa picked a good occasion to have his best game for Munster.

Healy carded. Bit harsh, IMO.
Re: Grahamunster - Graham Rowntree's Munster 2022/2023
Why is Beirne kicking that?
Re: Grahamunster - Graham Rowntree's Munster 2022/2023
Seems like a weak yellow there against Munster bit of a home town decision.

Scrum peno Toulouse in the MUN 22. 20-16, 73 mins.
Re: Grahamunster - Graham Rowntree's Munster 2022/2023
Toulouse should kick the ball out here. Nothing to gain from another score.
Edit: Didn't matter in the end, but if Munster had intercepted and win the game, it would have cost Toulouse a home quieter final.

Likely Exeter v Munster in Round of 16 then. Don't think Munster will fear that at all.

Interesting game, lots to be taken from it for the viewer. Great performance from Munster, going to Toulouse and coming away with anything is never easy. They are very, very dependent on John Ryan though, without him their scrum strength dissipates. In the loose though, the Munster back five caused a lot of problems for Toulouse.
Toulouse are weird. They have a lot of good players and a lot of huge forwards. But they appear to be seriously lacking in conditioning up front and their back play is based upon the individual talents of their players and in particular their half-backs. Their attacking shape could best be described as 'amorphous blob'.

FT: 20-16. Munster a tad unlucky at the end - see Healy's yellow card. Toulouse very good but nothing extraordinary. Ireland'd wanna look out in the 6N for Julien Marchand steals at the breakdown. He got four of them today and as a result MOTM.
Re: Grahamunster - Graham Rowntree's Munster 2022/2023
That's an excellent result for Munster. Very impressive. Sharks or Exeter away it seems. No prizes for guessing which one they'd opt for if given the choice.

I'm left wondering whether the trench warfare of the Top 14 means that the conditioning, not size, of the Top 14 teams is not optimum. Munster almost let them run riot for first quarter and then counter-attacked for 30 minutes and deserved to be further ahead (kicks). Toulouse had sufficient in the end but certainly not as scary in reality as they looked in prospect.
Really impressed by Ryan and Klein and by Kilcoyne's fitness. Fekitoa and Frisch played well as did the wingers. Felt sorry for Joey when he departed, confidence is such a precious commodity.
Healy was very unfortunate to get a card which was critical to the outcome. Good performance by Munster and a really good message to French rugby for the 6N and RWC.

Interestingly, the RTÉ/TG4 documentary at the time of the millenium celebrations of this historical event opened with slo-mo footage of Leinster and Munster going hammer and tongs at each other in the Aviva.

Why should the IRFU through Munster give training resources, development time and match experience to someone who can head over and play for Scotland at the end of this season?
We need to do a Ruddock on him. If he is not interested in the callup send him on his merry little way.
* I understand he needs game time to prove himself capable of an Ireland callup - I have not squared that circle yet.

Q. If you find yourself on the wrong side of the ruck blocking the ball and can't get out, how do you avoid incurring the wrath of the Referee?
A. You play the ball back yourself, thereby not only not conceding a penalty, but earning the gratitude of the Ref and possibly the benefit of the doubt next time around.
Clever play Tadgh, clever play.
