Oh me of little faith :oops: well done Munster. :thumleft:

Poor standard but fair play I didn't see that one coming. Well done turnips. Scarlets have been talked up as contenders this season, early days but I fancy a challenge from Cardiff if FNW stays fit.
Great to win in Llanelli- usually beyond us.

Tyler out again. Calf strain I think. Should only miss one game but I get the feeling this guy will never be able to play a few games in a row.

Down to the bare fecking bones. Keatley better perform.

It looks the weakest Munster team of the last 15-20 years, then again I thought they be horsed last week so I'm saying feck all.

The Munster Cardiff game is like watching 15-a-side 7s rugby. On one hand it's enjoyable attacking off-loading rugby, on the other any defensive efforts are laughable. Big Nick is cream crackered after 10 mins.

Aye, quite enjoyable all right. Munster are relying totally on the kick chase. Caaaaaaaaaaaaadiff look a little more structured but that wouldn't be hard.

On diminutive pocket sized ref Ian Davies, when scalding him later in the season, as well to remember what a very good advantage he played for the Munster try :thumleft: Sometimes they get it right.

Munster struggling against the Blues who are looking decent. The obstruction call against Jenkins was tough.

Dan Goggin completely fooled by Rey Lee-Lo for Caaaadiff's second try. A sharp learning curve for the Academy centre.

No they aren't, leading 20-17 after 66 mins.

In other news, "the Greatest Backline in Europe" failing to score a try against a 13 man defence as Embra have yellow card syndrome.

Houl'on, aye you're right Russ, humped, 20-24 10 to go.

Bate 23-24. Strange decision with 9 minutes left to kick a pen when they had scored a good try from a penalty to the corner 10 minutes earlier.

Never got back to the Blues 22.

Couple of decent tries but fek me, the amount of kicking is depressing. They get a turnover and their first thought is to boot it away as quickly as possible. The internationals coming on for Cardiff added a slither of quality.

I was just keeping one eye on the game and didn't realise Cardiff were leading going into the final few minutes. Wondered what on earth they were playing at in the final minute taking it up through the forwards instead of going for a score.
