Did the lads forget to award a MOTM?

Yeah, there doesn’t appear to be a player of the match mentioned anywhere.

I'd say we can safely assume it's DK?

Though ROL did OK but wouldn't have had him in my top 5 contenders

Thought Harry, DK, Sheahan and Dunne were the pick of the bunch for us.

Brilliant to see young guys take their shot.

I can see why Leo is giving so much gametime to MOR, he looks a really natural rugby player. A lot to iron out in his game but he has lots about him.

Harry is just so clearly a class above this level. His passes for DK's try in the corner were ridiculous.
I agree that the lads you mention were excellent, but I thought ROL was outstanding for us

18 tackles by ROL according to the Guinness Pro 14 site.

Quite a number for a Centre. Them's is backrow tackling numbers :D

Looking at his stats he had an excellent game!

Can't say I saw that but maybe others did!

Yup, Harry Byrne looked so dangerous all game imo and he was clearly not even fully fit. Kicked well too which is really encouraging.

A bit early to be asking this question but Joey makes a difference.
If he makes the Pro14 final can he make enough of a difference for Munster to win.
Would be bitter sweet.
Mirror, Mirror on the Wall who's the greatest player of them all? It is Drico your majesty.

Entertaining enough game.
DK on 51 tries now eh? Only 5 behind Hickie.
You know I'm going to lose,
And gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby, I don't want to live FOREVER!

They were 3 lovely finishes TBF.
He's really good at that, finishing.
Dave Kearney Part 1. I don't remember him being as good as he is now, as Dave Kearney Part 2.
Has been a real bonus for us over the last couple of seasons.

Its 28 tries now since he came back from all those injuries. That is some going.

Classy assists for Kelleher's and one of Kearney's tries.

The gametime given to guys like MOR, Osborne, Clarkson, Soroka, Turner & Hawkshaw this season is really going to stand to them going forward. Not sure all will make it in blue, but getting starts and minutes in the league must be a huge benefit at that age.
