Waiting to see Castres team. Pity to see that Niall Ronan is still included. A very strong bench which was as key last week as O'Garas kick.

Still think that Barnes is going to bin one of the Cas players before the end of the match

If there is only a few points in it come 75 minutes I would fancy Munster, they need to keep within about 3 points of Castres until then if nothing else.

Munster will have their work cut out for them if they are going win from here. I hope that they do but i think that Cas also look up for this.

If Cas continue to annoy Barnes and he sends one to the bin then Munster should be able to unlock their defence.

Should be taking passes like that

Quinny was just on about "...penetration up the middle..." He really shouldn't say things like to me...

Punch up the middle ffs...Chambers on for Danny...pity but too many mistakes from Barnes..

Brilliant try by POM

Massive try that. Come on Munster

Great try Munster no.6!!

Thats it POMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

pure Openside try....hear that Rory

Munster starting to really get on top now

Game on. Great try and something resembling a backline move from Munster! That's a Wallace try.

18 - 17....GAME ON!

Stag sorry mate but you are full of crap. I haven't said anything of the sort, read what I have said again. You are making things up. I have said he can do all three of the backrow positions and we don't know his best position but he has been best at 8 followed by 6. I haven't said anything about shoehorning him into 8.

I'd rather you stop making stuff up that I have said, which you have done a few times previously also. End of that discussion please.

I haven't seen the game, but isn't he playing 6?

Like a 7 rory like a 7

You confuse me.. and stag please read what DOD says also, since you talk about me shoehorning him into a position. You are clueless if you think that I am the one doing that.

Rory, would you call Brussouw a blinside or an openside? What would you have called Quinny?

Munster are imploding here a little bit

Poor DG attempt then - wrong option

It was. Mafi, don't shovel out sh!t. No need to force the pass.

Was the drop attempt really necessary?

Barnes doing his usual standing in the 9-10 channel bollixing things up.

Then he gives a penalty to Castres when it should of gone to Munster apprantly cause hes not going to have 'back chat'

Getting interesting now. Cas still holding very firm here

Handling errors again

Knock on FFS.

hohoho Max Evans could of been badly embarrassed there.

If Munster lose then the Scarlets will be loving this group at the moment.

Try Munster.... Finally

Well done ROG

It had a Poitrenaud HC final air about it. Pity we didn't capitalise on it though.

VERY LUCKY MUNSTER

Try for Chambers

Munster in the lead.

Shocker of a kick, absolute shocker.

As I typed Chambers goes in. Gowan ROG. Let's secure the win and hopefully get a bonus point!

POM is down - hope its not too bad

POM is out cold

oh s,hit O'Mahony down.

Hope POM is okay, big scrum here though.

Knee to the head, mild concussion most likely, should be fine for the future but not for this match.

Nothing to serious, just concussion I think - yep, he's walking off

Oh great 24-24

An openside, because SA play their opensides at 6. Quinlan is a blindside because he plays in that position (he binds on the scrum on the blindside). I don't know what point you are trying to make..

24 all

10 minutes to go.

A try for Munster = 5pts on the table for Munster
A try and penalty for Castres = 0 pts on the table for Munster

What is Murphy doing? - Stupid DG attempt.

3 drop attempts from Munster when it has'nt been required. All missing

That is ludicrous from Johne Murphy - ludicrous.

Quinny wore 6 but he did all the work of an openside. Same as POM.

Gaaah...bad clearing out again.

Great play Chambers. So close there

Oooooh, Very unlucky Howlett

Chamber has had a big impact off the bench

Great stuff from Will Chambers.
