I've got Setanta - if you want TG4 I can do that one as well...

Bottles it for Ireland though when it matters.Just kidding. Ross should have offloaded it to Fitzy in the corner. I guess they don't expect props to have good hands out in Fermoy. Munster giving away a lot of soft penalties

12 - 6 to Leinster...

Check inbox Munster abu.

Cheers Thom

This is looking like a good match...!

thanks wales606

On my stream there's a woman sat near a mic. Feck she's annoying when they're kicking.

12 - 9.

15 - 9 after a Sexytoes penalty.

They should never let wimmin near mikes. Only starts trouble.

Táim sásta go leor le sin. Beidh an bua ag an foireann a faigheann uaidh. Tá cúige Laighean ag féachaint dáinseirach nuair a ta siad ar an ionsaí


Not too shabby a lot of soft penalties, if anyone gets a try they will probably get the win. Leinster looking dangerous in attack

Johns are just as bad as Mikes

Leinster are much the better team. Murphy is very poor as a fullback, he should be able to catch the ball. Barnes has been decent since he came on but the leinster back 3 is far superior. McFadden is disappointing again and ronan is just confirming everything I thought about him, whys he allowed to play.
Sexton and murray playing well, hopefully they'll be starting in February.

Oh and Keet looked f***ed which is a disaster for munster.

Excellent Munster

Good radio commentary here in English. (RTE radio)

Dreadful game. Need to get the backs going Johnny. Reddan on to help change it soon.

Great kick Murray.

Boss has had a very good game. How does Murray get picked ahead of him?!

6 out of 6 for sexton. He'll kick those all day with his third leg.

Wow 3 tries and a pen v 2 tries and a pen! Looks like I was wrong about this being all about ball killing, penalty kick off!

Wales606 - YHM.

Because hes a better player, Murray has been at least as good as Boss and Reddan would probably help leinster.

Great DG Rob.

Wow! Well done Chilli - good DG!!

21 - 12.

How are we not hammering these fux. All over them.

Here is the spur.

Reddans on, this should improve Leinster.

Good munster defence and poor leinster attack.

It's at times like this I pull my hair out with Apple. Why the hell can't I have an adobe flash player? Every blydi link, even the radio requires it!

Barnes looks like he's daycent.

Leamy very unlucky there, he wasn't the tackler and was the first one in.

Why isn't the BEEB showing this as the Dragons game is off

Lemy in the bin - there's a surprise!

Can someone slap that mouthy cow by the mic...?

24 - 12.

Munster are in trouble this season in the Hec, no creativity in the backs and a terrible backrow.

Don't confuse good defense with poor discipline, killing the ball whenever Leinster attack. Check the penalty count. Munster can't handle the heat.

And now Munster have thrown the towel in.

edit sorry tol not towel.

Dangerous tackle by Nacewa, but he's not sent off fortunately.

Munster penalty - misses. Oops. 24 - 12.

Ruddock on for Jennings (sorry Gibbo!)

There's a try coming ladies. Fitz?

The penalty count usually goes against the team that does the most defending. The have defended very well tonight and if they couldn't handle the heat leinster would have had a lot of trys. The most blatant penalty of the night was healy on the leinster line.

Fitzy's got a nice arse.

Leinsterbaby, will buy you a pint in Dublin in February *star*

Tonight I will be mostly watching Brive v Racing Metro. Merci.
