He’s looking a little green alright. Understandable with his inexperience.

The situation with Farrell is likely to unsettle Munster in the short term.
However Dragons are playing high tempo at the moment and Munster are struggling with it.

Question: Can you take a quick tap if the ref is looking at foul play?

It definitely did deserve the yellow.

Thought Casey's quick tap might have given the ref a reason not to give the yellow for the high tackle so good to see him give it after the try was scored.

Dragons probably the better side for 35 minutes of that half but Munster lead at half time. Two well taken tries in the last five minutes.

Poor defence from Dragons but Munster did a better job of getting them to hold the inside in the last few minutes.

Munster were abysmal for the first half an hour. Be interesting to see if the Dragons can start in the second half as well as they did in the first. The home crowd are certainly giving it their all!!!

This is a very tough watch, very stop start with very little decent rugby.

Terrible couple of minutes for Fekitoa.

The coaches must be going berserk, the basic errors have nothing to do with them.

Dyer made Zebo look like a back row there.

That number 14 has the X factor.

The try scorer could have made life easier for him on the conversion too tbh.

Maybe one that retired 20 years ago. That was just embarrassing.

Munster had an early season mare in Rodney Parade just like us last season. Difference is we pulled out the win.

Fekitoa will not want to see that try again.

Edogbo clearly very strong in contact but I think he struggled with the pace of the game.

That’s a really bad day at the office, confidence must be through the floor after that.

Zebo looks like a tight head. Funny that we don't hear calls for him to be brought back to the Ireland squad any more.

Dragons first home win in 518 days! And that wasn't far off Munster's first choice team. Poor day at the office.
