Sometimes you know a kick is over as soon as it leaves a player's boot. That conversion was an example.

7 - 0 but Leinster look to be bossing the breakdown.

IMO a blatant penalty even had him round his neck, not acceptable.

Not denying its a penalty. Very clearly is. Sometimes you have to anticipate a bit. I expected Sexton to get to his feet a lot quicker and Howlett would have been smashing back.

He got it wrong and paid the price. No biggie. He got a try Smile

Munster penalty at the Scrum. . . . . I know I'm amazed too. John Hayes v van der Merwe boxing

Evening All

Watching on BBC Alba

ROG shows the upstart boy how to kick at Thomond...

by red_stag Sat 28 May 2011, 5:23 pm

Sexton gets a penalty 15m out from goal . . .Hasn't the bottle and turns down a kick at goal.

by MR. scotland27 Sat 28 May 2011, 5:24 pm

I think it might be a big conspiracy by Leinster their just waiting til the second half to make their comeback Smile

by Cari Sat 28 May 2011, 5:24 pm

Wally didn't do anything special for his 200th appearance then? Crying or Very sad

by KiaRose Sat 28 May 2011, 5:26 pm

Too much at stake Mr Sctland - Leinster can't afford to play only 40 minutes

by Gibson Sat 28 May 2011, 5:26 pm

Hes being outplayed by Jenno, Cari. For the umpteenth time in a row.

didnt seem like a bad strategy last week Wink

by red_stag Sat 28 May 2011, 5:28 pm

To be fair Gibbo's right he is. Leinster backrow on top. We are getting huge space down the right flank. Lineout is interesting battle today.

by Guest Sat 28 May 2011, 5:28 pm

as a neutral I am loving this match.

Biggest shock though, Munster are actually trying to run the ball Shocked

:run1:

by KiaRose Sat 28 May 2011, 5:29 pm

This game is far far more important than last week's Smile

by MR. scotland27 Sat 28 May 2011, 5:29 pm

Munster have had some nice hands though down the wing..... Marcus horan of all people!

by Cari Sat 28 May 2011, 5:29 pm

Who's that holding onto Sexytoes? Surely that's an offence for not letting him go?

by MR. scotland27 Sat 28 May 2011, 5:31 pm

O'driscoll down bad news Shocked

by red_stag Sat 28 May 2011, 5:31 pm

Are you joking? Thats most of Horans game. Sit on the wing and earn plaudits with a fairly large try count as props go.

Oh dear O'Driscoll injured. Even as Munster fan I don't want that Sad

by Cari Sat 28 May 2011, 5:32 pm

Oh no BOD's been flattened I hope he's OK...oh wait, he's up again like The Terminator!!! Super BOD... Smile

by MR. scotland27 Sat 28 May 2011, 5:32 pm

no wait back up incredible

by Gibson Sat 28 May 2011, 5:32 pm

This is unreal. Incredible stuff. Breakdown is becoming a War of attrition..

by Guest Sat 28 May 2011, 5:32 pm

BOD, you absolute mental, mental man!

Receiving treatment, gets up, tackles someone straight away....just, what a crazy guy.

by Luckless Pedestrian Sat 28 May 2011, 5:33 pm

There's a word for games like this. That word is humdinger. Smile

by Cari Sat 28 May 2011, 5:33 pm

Some handbags....I have a feeling BOD might have to come off, he's nursing his arm or his hand.

by red_stag Sat 28 May 2011, 5:33 pm

Gibbo to me at every breakdown, every lineout and even every scrum there is a risk of a turnover. Thats how rugby is meant to be.

Ireland showing everyone the way forward. Horan is a thug. I won't condone that.

by MR. scotland27 Sat 28 May 2011, 5:34 pm

Marcus Horan should be off Poor play

by KiaRose Sat 28 May 2011, 5:34 pm

It's an incredible pace being played.

Shouldn't they all be very tired at the end of a long season?

by Guest Sat 28 May 2011, 5:34 pm

ooo Marcus Horan...that was a bit nasty.

by Gibson Sat 28 May 2011, 5:34 pm

Horan yellow card!

by Guest Sat 28 May 2011, 5:35 pm

Lucky - I love that word! Humdinger - tis brilliant!

Kia - you'd think so wouldn't you? Not sure anyone's told the two teams that though...

by Guest Sat 28 May 2011, 5:35 pm

Poor by Nigel. That was right in front of him.

by red_stag Sat 28 May 2011, 5:35 pm

Glad to see Sexton is being given the silence too. Horan and Fla are two Musnter players I don't like at all. Not surprised it was him to be honest.

by Cari Sat 28 May 2011, 5:36 pm

I bet the people sat by the fella with the megaphone are pished off. I didn't think they'd allow something like that to be taken into a match.

Good kick Sexytoes. Needed that.

by Gibson Sat 28 May 2011, 5:36 pm

Stag. You are the biz mate. So impartial even with all that is at stake here. Has to be said. kiss

7-3.

by The_Hound_of_Harrow Sat 28 May 2011, 5:36 pm

7s latest (if anyone's interested) - Wales 7 - 5 Spain : England 24 - 5 Portugal. Shoot out between England and Wales to top the pool.

by MR. scotland27 Sat 28 May 2011, 5:37 pm

Another turnover for leinster their back row is in the acsedency

by Guest Sat 28 May 2011, 5:38 pm

how many turnovers have there been now?! LOVE this match.

Cheers for the update Hound, C'mon Wales!!

by Cari Sat 28 May 2011, 5:39 pm

Cheers Harrow. There's a couple of O's in the Wales 7s squad. I hope they win! Very Happy

BOD seems OK now. Cullen's having treatment though.

by Thomond Sat 28 May 2011, 5:39 pm

The try was the best you will ever see from Mafs.RTÉ HD is looking awesome.We are conceding far too many turnovers.Is Dougie Howlett still good enough to be an All Black? He doesn't have the pace but his brain is one of the best of wingers out there.Take a note Chris Ashton.

by KiaRose Sat 28 May 2011, 5:41 pm

Leinster back row are doing phenomal work - another turnover

by MR. scotland27 Sat 28 May 2011, 5:41 pm

I don't know anout that because IMO Chris Ashton is the best winger in the world right now and i'm scottish!

by Luckless Pedestrian Sat 28 May 2011, 5:41 pm

You'd never get this intensity and quality in a Welsh derby. You wouldn't get close.

by Thomond Sat 28 May 2011, 5:42 pm

Don't think it's just the backrow.Jenno showed some great hands there as per usual laughing

by Cari Sat 28 May 2011, 5:42 pm

Give over! Not in the world he's not.

by red_stag Sat 28 May 2011, 5:42 pm

Gibbo thats how we were coached rugby. If you respect the opposition, they respect you.

Danny Barnes is doing well I think today. Glad to see. My gut reaction was that it was flash in pan against Ospreys.

by Gibson Sat 28 May 2011, 5:42 pm

Hoi Kia. What a game eh? rose

by Thomond Sat 28 May 2011, 5:43 pm

Scotland,I just lost all respect i had for you.Ashton is a finisher.A decent one but he offers nothing else.His 6N tries came from the genius of Toby Flood rather than his own doing.He got a decent one against Australia but I have seen nothing else to convince me that he is a decent all round winger.Give me Dougie any day.

by MR. scotland27 Sat 28 May 2011, 5:44 pm

Great in defense the leinster back row but a little wayward going foward.

by Don Alfonso Sat 28 May 2011, 5:44 pm

Well done Sarries. What a final ten minutes!

by Guest Sat 28 May 2011, 5:44 pm

I dunno Lucky, the Scarlets v Blues and Dragons v O's were both very intense. You have a point about the quality though.....

MrS - Shocked

really?! Ashton's good but c'mon....

by KiaRose Sat 28 May 2011, 5:44 pm

Crackin', Gibbo
