Come ON Leinster! Believe.

Thomond, I'll have to watch that back!

Strauss in the back row?!!?

They'd better stop making piddly errors Gibbo...that could cost them....

Ooh, he didn't strike that well at all.

mrssuper- I was very pleased with how Earls played there versus England, but would be uncomfortable with him there fulltime. I feel we'll know more after the warm-up games, but it's right that Kearney is given the chance to get back because he's our best option. The onus is on him to prove his fitness and form however- like I said we're going to have to wait until August

John Hayes is amazing me today!! He's been good in scrum and hasn't been subbed yet.

Why is ROG still on? I thought he'd be replaced.

Cari,you still get one or two ghouls who boo. 7/8 metres out,use the clock and hope you sneak over or get a penalty.

Connor Murray is a beautiful passer of the ball but he needs to get it away quicker, it's slow ball as it is.

I think this is munster's to lose now...

so frenetic

Leinster are on the ropes!!!

AW Howlett! That should have been it. God, I hope they finish the job here

Come on MUNSTER!

Flip hell! Guys what are you doing??? Jebus...I'm a neutral, and I'm finding this heart stopping! You Munster/Leinster fans must be Poopie bricks!

this match is officially crazy!

an amazing run by Howlett there!!

But what was that pass by Horgan?

Warwick on for Jones.

Dougie you beauty, pity he couldn't get the past off.Big scrum here.Warwick on at full back.Why hasn't ROG gone off?!

My thoughts exactly cari I want leinster to win but this is just unbearable...

Leinster forcing things too much now.

Key part of the match for me so far was the 10 mins Munster were down to 14 and didn't concede a point. It's turning out to be crucial.

Thom - he has now...whilst he still knows what his name is

Our own worst enemies at times. Too many errors.

Munster deserve this. In fairness.

Leinster are cracking........ They are rushing things,away to Munster is an entirely different prospect to Millenium Stadium. What a scrum!

what a scrum from munster john hayes take a bow

oooh....they're going for the scrum again....I hope they don't regret that...

I can't understand why as a neutral you'd watch Munster put in a performance like this and want Leinster to win.

What a ballsy decision to go for the scrum! Big John Hayes has their number obviously

Thats it...barring a miracle. Munster know how to close these games out.

John Hayes doesn't bow.....

Cari,no he hasn't.Lads FFS,take your points!

Mistake not to take the points.

penalty try munster derserve it in the end

A first in Thomon Park - a scrum Penalty Try FOR Munster!!!!!!!

Ha, not when you scrummage like that it isn't!

YES!!

John Hayes inflicts penalty try on Leinster (single-handedly, loike). Get him on that plane!

Munster get a penalty try I never thought I would see the day.The Bull still has some fight in him! I withdraw my earlier statement.

Penalty try! Blimey!


Full credit to Munster for how they weathered the Leinster fight back for a lot of this 2nd half. This has been just a superb, superb match.

Pleased now that Munster are going to win, they've been brilliant in the Magners all season, fair play.

Penalty try. There's two minutes to go but I think that's it for the Magners.

Well done to both teams, what a cracking match to end the Magners fairdo's

What a minute! I thought ROG came off?!

Give man of the match to Hayes, for god's sake. Has he not earned it?

Maybe I'm just being sentimental.

last gasp from leinster?

Just give the try Nigel and get on with it....

Cari,this must be gravy for you seeing Wally like that.....

Why? its clearly not a try.

When he didn't ground it Scotland?

Well played Munster. Fully deserved. ML Champions and HC Champions go to Ireland.

Looks like that was held up by Wally. Yep. No try.

how much extra time have we got then?

makes no difference and makes the game seem more exciting

Mafi is my man of match. I suspect Wallaces anniversary game played a role in him getting it.

Munster win!! Outscoring Leinster 3 tries to none

final whistle finnally

No try for Hines either.

Blow it up Nige.

WELL DONE MUNSTER! They've been top of the table practically all season, so fairdo's lads.

Respect to Leinster, who are going down with their heads held high. A great, great team Leinster. But from an Ireland point of view the Munster guys needed this. A trophy for Leinster, a trophy for Munster and Ulsters best season since 2006. Bring on the RWC.
