Munster vs Saracens

by maestegmafia Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:04 pm

Just kicked off looks like it will be a bruising encounter

by maestegmafia Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:05 pm

2nd offside as a player kicks out of hand awards pen to Ogara

by valjester Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:05 pm

Rog needs to get much more distance on his line kicking or else give it to Earls or Zebo.

by **George Carlin** Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:06 pm

Never been to Thomond but that big scallop-shaped main stand looks awesome.

by maestegmafia Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:07 pm

Aye munster are full of fire to match the crowd too

by maestegmafia Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:07 pm

Great break by Murray, couldnt get the pass away though

by **Notch** Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:08 pm

Aw!

That linebreak needed to have been finished off. Need to be more clinical.

by valjester Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:08 pm

Aye, I love visiting the grandparents and getting the train from Limerick to Ennis past the stadium.

Docv2 has started really well, Murray not so much, should have scored himself.

Earls has terrible vision sometimes.. that wasn't on, and Jones cut inside for a perfect little pop inside. Yet Earls sticks to his original plan and nearly gives the intercept..

Ah jesus, if that ball had gone through Zebo was free. But you're right still stupid.

Farrell misses saracens first attempt.

3 - 0 to munster 15 mins gone

by valjester Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:17 pm

Botha has been awful mouthy and niggly the last few games.

by maestegmafia Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:18 pm

Aye he is not favouring himself with the ref there

by sheephead Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:19 pm

So much for the Irish myth of respect the kicker =).

Zeno seems to be back in form, O'Gara tackling too!!

by maestegmafia Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:20 pm

How the hell was he meant to roll away... should be a second pen to munster for not releasing

by **George Carlin** Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:20 pm

Sarries lineout malfunctioning? Headscratch

A bit like Dolly Parton's breast malfunctioning.

by sheephead Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:21 pm

Meant to say zebo. Downey is a lump, is he irish qualified or project player.?

Munster not getting anything from the officials, last throw by Saracens wasn't straight.

by maestegmafia Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:22 pm

Ref has lost control already

by valjester Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:23 pm

That should be a Munster penalty if it was a knock on by white surely? Wyles touched it from in front.

by sheephead Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:23 pm

by maestegmafia Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:24 pm

Two yellow recommended by the touch judge

by maestegmafia Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:25 pm

Britz throwing has gone to pot...!

by sheephead Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:25 pm

Maes: you must speak french. All I got was " you and you" and "tres bien"

WTF happened there?

Finally a lineout called not straight

by maestegmafia Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:26 pm

I have no idea what happened

by maestegmafia Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:28 pm

Munster playing some great rugby there

by valjester Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:30 pm

Dewi Morris is a f**king idiot. Rog really needs to get his kicks right.

by maestegmafia Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:33 pm

Sarries over the top, pulled by munster hooker sherry but they fool the ref. 6 - 0 to munster

Yes and yes

by Breadvan Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:34 pm

lol at at the crowds holier than thou shushing at kicks...

by Golden Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:35 pm

What a hit

by maestegmafia Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:35 pm

Great hit on Britz by Howitzer... Didnt know ol'Dougie had it in him...!!

by valjester Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:37 pm

Greater decision by Zebo.

by maestegmafia Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:37 pm

How Brad Barritt get so many accolades I don't know, he has been awful today.

by **Biltong** Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:38 pm

Good game this, very physical with some great hits.

by maestegmafia Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:39 pm

Awesome Game Bill

by GunsGerms Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:39 pm

That was such a good tackle by Howlett earlier. C'mon Munster

by BigTrevsbigmac Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:39 pm

Goode is the class act on the field at the moment

by maestegmafia Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:42 pm

Zebo is having a hell of an impact, as are Howlett, Earls and old man O'Gara is looking handy too... Goode looks like the best Sarries back line player, but that is not hard.

by **Biltong** Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:42 pm

There's a good number of SA born l,ayers in this game, I like watching how they do individually.

by valjester Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:42 pm

The ref has given that for popping up in the scrum, which last night we were told wasn't a penalty, but more to the point Saracens popped first.

by Rory_Gallagher Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:42 pm

Dave O'Callaghan has been the most impressive player so far IMO. He is very industrious.

11 in Saracens alone.

Its practically a Curry Cup match with a bunch of irish players for good measure ... ha ha ha

by **Biltong** Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:43 pm

by BigTrevsbigmac Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:44 pm

O'gara hasn't kicked well. The difference at the moment is the dis functioning line out for Sarries - very unusual

Yeah, he has been very impressive, he has huge potential and his problem in his performances so far this season were that he
wasn't putting in a consistent 80 minutes. He needs to keep going like this.

Yep...!

Anyhow the penalty just got canceled out there now.

9 - 3

Sarries clearly won the hit. You could see that from the side.

by maestegmafia Sat 08 Dec 2012, 6:47 pm

Half Time, what a game.
