Ulster well on top so far, but not doing much in attack.

Munster lineout has been poor and their back play is again pedestrian.

Looks like a bad injury to poor auld Marty Moore. Hopefully it's just a precaution, but he did give out a bit of a shout after it happened.
Looks like either a twisted knee or tweaked hamstring issue.

Yep looked a lot worse as time went on.

Possible broken ankle/lower leg?

Awful for him, he had been having a really good game too.

Not good news at all for Ulster's season either.

Big stop from Ulster at HT.

Patterson having a bit of a mare. Wouldn't be surprised to see Murray soon.

Fekitoa is playing a bit better because he's being used solely as a battering ram.

Half time - more blanks fired than during the filming of the opening scenes of Saving Private Ryan

Munster over for the first try.

Since Moore has gone off they've been the better side.

Big 35 mins coming up here and benches are fairly even.

It is absolutely awful quality, as have many of the interpros been this year.

Absolute class from McCloskey.

Good finish too.

Great pass, a rare (isolated?) moment of quality. Balocounne in full flight is quite a sight too

Smart from Munster to take the kick there imo.

BIG chance for Munster now!

Currently 14-8 Ulster with 4 to go but Munster with lineout 5 metres out.

Ulster have absolutely fallen apart!

That's a huge win for Munster and means a win for us tonight gives us a 15/16 point gap to Ulster in third place.

They have really set a new standard in bottling. That squad of players will have to be dismantled. It will not be a pretty sight

Important win for Munster - had they lost they would have struggled to qualify for Europe next season, but they didn't so they are back in the mix (though I still think they may need to finish 6th).

Ulster are a shambles. McFarland is done.
