Munster v Scarlets - Sunday

First topic message reminder :

Earls came through the squad training session in UL yesterday and if he does likewise in tomorrow's run could be a contender for a place in the match day squad with Tony McGahan adding "We've to wait and see, he's been out of action for three to four weeks, so we'll have to see how he gets on in training for the rest of the week."

Munster Squad (29): Marcus Horan, Wian du Preez, Stephen Archer, John Hayes, BJ Botha, Denis Fogarty, Damien Varley, Donncha O'Callaghan, Donnacha Ryan, Paul O'Connell, Mick O'Driscoll, Ian Nagle, Billy Holland, Denis Leamy, Niall Ronan, James Coughlan, Tommy O'Donnell, Tomas O'Leary, Conor Murray, Ian Keatley, Ronan O'Gara, Johne Murphy, Denis Hurley, Scott Deasy, Simon Zebo, Will Chambers, Lifeimi Mafi, Danny Barnes, Keith Earls.

eire,

I like to see all Welsh Regions do well but think if Scarlets can come away with a LBP it will be very good result for them.

Have feeling they get bit of tonking

Not so sure about that bedford. Just have this horrible little feeling that its going to be very close. Still think that Munster are the better team and should win but not by much.

Hoping for a good game , hope the ref doesn't make it a shambles for either team

Who is the ref Munkian?

Dave Pearson is ref...!

I think he is a reasonably no nonsense kind of bloke from what i remember...!

Scrums have been particularly poorly refereed this last round. I would like to see it all a bit clearer and more consistent this time. Even though I imagine that would only benefit Munster as Scarlets do not currently have many options at the scrum, but I was sick to death of the endless re-scrums at the Liberty, followed by wrong calls by the referee.

nce to see munster havng a scrum as weapon for a change. is mushy getting any gametime at sale? have feeling he will suddenly become a scrummager over there. don't know why mind.

It all depends on the refereeing of the scrum though unfortunately mate.

Cheers maesteg, i hope he has a good game and does sort out the absolute nonsense that has been the scrums.

Come on Munster! Three provinces to top the groups after round 4 would be excellent!

After spending two hours at the Liberty watching around sixty minutes of resetting scrums I really feel like the Referee's have to do more for the fans else we will get disenfranchised with the game...!

Right guys, no streams from the usual places are working so if you could keep me updated as to whats going on i would be very grateful

C'mon Scarlets

Phew, found a stream just in time to see ROG kick the penalty

Whiteville could you pm me please?

Scarlets didnt do too badly in the scrum there maesteg

Yes Pl ease. Autocorrect...

Check your mail mckay

Jaysus the Munster lineout is really pish today

Thats twice Davis has sailed through Rogs channel.
Needs to tighten up.

Scarlets are playing well and certainly targeting ROG very well.

Anyone know any decent streams? Sky app isn't working

check your inbox

Check you messages CurlyOsp

Missed the start of this

Dudes I need your help...have a stream but its got a feckin add I can't get rid off !

Lol rodders, refresh and click them away immediately

Pm for you rod

Silly double movement

Thanks guys think I've got it now.

It seems from the first half that its going to be very tight, hopefully we won't need another drop goal in the 92th minute thought

I always figured that this would be a very tight match. Munster may be leading but Scarlets have played the better rugby in my mind.

Munster looking good here. They're playing well within themselves. Scarlets looked good early on with some breaks down ROG's channel but Munster seem to have shored it up. The forwards are starting to take control looking for space to spread it.

Scarlets taking a few players out. Missed kicks will cost them.

My god, is there anything more annoying than the fake American accent put on by so many Irish voice over wingnuts?

Jones off and Priestland into 10...... Not a bad call

great game so far

lets hope there are some tries too

Don't think I've seen DOC stay on his feet at a single ruck yet.

Ooh I take it back, just saw one!

Priestland and Jones have both crumbled when it comes to goal kicking - yet the Scarlets just arent playing the sort of game which will bring trys.

Bad miss for Priestland

Great play by Murray twice there!

Awesome stuff there from Munster! Go on Murray lad!

Murray is a cracking player, though has been out the game much until now... What a game...

Priestland could really rue missing that kick now...

Yellow card, not going well for Scarlets

Major let off there. Scarlets are doing everything right except scoring.

And as I type Munster wake up and play at a whole different level! Superb stuff to watch.

Yellow card, not going well for Scarlets

Try!

SUFTMM!!

Munster score. Connor Murray has been class all day

Top drawer forwards try that, simple and unstoppable.
