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.

Bernard seems inspired by playing against ROG !

by eirebilly Sat 19 Nov 2011, 3:51 pm

Cas arent playing too badly. Getting a little nervous for Munster

by eirebilly Sat 19 Nov 2011, 3:51 pm

by Cari Sat 19 Nov 2011, 3:52 pm

Howya Billy! guinness

just to steady the nerves. Thankfully I've calmed now...

by ME-109 Sat 19 Nov 2011, 3:52 pm

Although clancy clearly agreed with owens based on last night

by Thomond Sat 19 Nov 2011, 3:52 pm

Oh feck.

by wales606 Sat 19 Nov 2011, 3:53 pm

Munster are in trouble - 11 pts behind

by whocares Sat 19 Nov 2011, 3:53 pm

Mach out injured after scoring his try!

by ME-109 Sat 19 Nov 2011, 3:53 pm

Er..wakey wakey lads

by Cari Sat 19 Nov 2011, 3:54 pm

Oh dear. Good try from Castres.

Come on Munster! Wakey wakey!

Another injury for Castres.

11 - 0.

by Artful_Dodger Sat 19 Nov 2011, 3:54 pm

Great start for Castres, worryingly thought they have 2 players off injured already.

Munster need to get into this.

by eirebilly Sat 19 Nov 2011, 3:55 pm

All good here Cari, hope all is well with you.

Munster need a try now

by Cari Sat 19 Nov 2011, 3:56 pm

Aye I'm good Billy. O's drew away in Treviso, and I'm happy with that. Tommy scored one of their tries too, so the Irish had a good start today Wink

Here comes the Munster machine!

by wales606 Sat 19 Nov 2011, 3:57 pm

Munster look poor, O'Gara looks good though

by eirebilly Sat 19 Nov 2011, 3:57 pm

Yeah i saw that, i honestly thought that the O's would lose.

It really isnt looking good for Munster

by Cari Sat 19 Nov 2011, 3:58 pm

So did I at times Billy! Very Happy

I'm sure Munster can come back from this, come on...

by eirebilly Sat 19 Nov 2011, 4:00 pm

It will take some effort to get this Cari

Starting to play better though

by Cari Sat 19 Nov 2011, 4:02 pm

Is this Quinny commentating with the Englishman? I heart

his voice during the WC.

ooh ROG misses the DG.

by eirebilly Sat 19 Nov 2011, 4:03 pm

Howlett

by wales606 Sat 19 Nov 2011, 4:04 pm

Howlett is on fire at the moment

by Cari Sat 19 Nov 2011, 4:04 pm

Good man Dougie!

11 - 7.

by eirebilly Sat 19 Nov 2011, 4:04 pm

Great extras by ROG as well 11-7

by Thomond Sat 19 Nov 2011, 4:05 pm

It is Cari. Right lads. Let's get moving now! Keep it in the pack. No need for feckling drop goals ROG. We will make yards if we keep it in the forwards.

by wales606 Sat 19 Nov 2011, 4:05 pm

Brilliant kick from O'Gara

Castres 11 - 7 Munster

by eirebilly Sat 19 Nov 2011, 4:09 pm

Starting to look much better now

by eirebilly Sat 19 Nov 2011, 4:11 pm

Thats an odd miss from ROG

by Artful_Dodger Sat 19 Nov 2011, 4:11 pm

Masoe guilty of a couple of penalties and I thought he was lucky not to get penalised earlier for lieing on the wrong side, and then later again for stoppin Murray gettin to the ball when he was in an offside position.

Needs to careful.

by wales606 Sat 19 Nov 2011, 4:12 pm

Awful miss by O'Gara, Munster have picked up the intensity though.

by Artful_Dodger Sat 19 Nov 2011, 4:16 pm

Masoe lieing on the wrong side again and again not penalised for it.

by eirebilly Sat 19 Nov 2011, 4:16 pm

One of the Cas players is going to spend time in the bin before the end of this match

by Cari Sat 19 Nov 2011, 4:17 pm

Barnes getting fed up of the Castres players giving out after he's made a decision.

by eirebilly Sat 19 Nov 2011, 4:18 pm

Oh Bollox

by wales606 Sat 19 Nov 2011, 4:19 pm

Oh dear, try to Castres

Castres 16 - 7 Munster

Conversion to come

by whocares Sat 19 Nov 2011, 4:19 pm

Munster defence badly exposed here...

by Cari Sat 19 Nov 2011, 4:20 pm

Awh no. Try by the fella with the hairband.

18 - 7.

by Thomond Sat 19 Nov 2011, 4:21 pm

Why would you not kick that clear?! Fecking stupid! After that it was just numbers. Mafi and Murphy come on lads!

by eirebilly Sat 19 Nov 2011, 4:22 pm

Munster really must score here before half time

by Cari Sat 19 Nov 2011, 4:22 pm

Oh no. Good opportunity missed for Munster there. Shame they didn't the pass.

by Thomond Sat 19 Nov 2011, 4:22 pm

Keep the head lads.

by wales606 Sat 19 Nov 2011, 4:23 pm

Munster need a try here.

by ME-109 Sat 19 Nov 2011, 4:23 pm

Keep it tight Castres are soft around the edges...we make loads of ground and then spin it wide...where Castres are flooding the defence.

by Artful_Dodger Sat 19 Nov 2011, 4:25 pm

Munster choose to scrum from a penalty hmmm

by eirebilly Sat 19 Nov 2011, 4:25 pm

This is getting ridiculous

by Cari Sat 19 Nov 2011, 4:25 pm

Penalty try?

by wales606 Sat 19 Nov 2011, 4:27 pm

It was a free kick

by Artful_Dodger Sat 19 Nov 2011, 4:28 pm

Barnes having a poor game in my opinion. 5 minutes of scrums, 2 free kicks given and thats it.....

by eirebilly Sat 19 Nov 2011, 4:28 pm

Good choice in the end. Get some points

by Cari Sat 19 Nov 2011, 4:29 pm

So...the first half lasts over 45 minutes now?

by whocares Sat 19 Nov 2011, 4:29 pm

2nd half will be different as Munster will not have the wind against them...

by Thomond Sat 19 Nov 2011, 4:30 pm

I don't know. We really need a try. That probably could have gone either way. I'm disappointed with how we're playing. More stupid penalties and we really should have scored another try. You could see us coming back but it will be tough.
