Congrats Munster and great to see Earls back playing like that. Thought Glasgow might grab something from the game but Munster just had a little too much for them.

Really enjoyed the game tonight. Earls was outstanding what another bit of outrageous skill for his try. Denis Hurley was excellent as well.

Considering how many players Glasgow were more missing there were times in the second half when we were on the ropes and we were very soft in defence at times so well done to Glasgow, probably deserved a losing bonus point.

Very entertaining game. Glasgow were well up for it despite those missing. Matawuala is some player. Glasgow are really going to miss him.

Earls spectacular try:

Some skill there, not to mention the pace.

I was ridiculed on here for pointing out that Earls is the most talented back in Ireland. I know it was only a Pro12 game but tonight he showed his pace, agility and pure skill is unrivalled in this country.

Surely St Joseph and his blessed mother will give him a shot before the end of the 6ns

Looks like it was a good one - well done to Munster.

Not too disappointed from a soapdodger perspective - you can't play Munster away from home with 27 players out - too much to ask anyone. Delighted to see our kids giving it a lash though - invaluable experience to have as a band of brothers.

Earls' problem has never been his pace or feet. For me he is a Test class winger and far better with the ball in hand than when he has to pass it. Foley seems to be the first coach who is persevering with him exclusively as a centre so maybe that confidence boost will help. I didn't see the game last night - how was his decision making?

Just watched it again and McConnell was a wee bit disappointing. Looked better in first 40 and Braid looked good even with poor service at back of scrum. Given Laidlaw's abysmal performance at The Library Ali Price should be Henry's deputy next season and cover during RWC. Can see us getting Lamont back as he was dreadful yesterday too.

Off-loads are the new 'pass' now. Munster had 24 offloads last night against Glasgow (who had 8).
Earls made 6 passes and 2 offloads compared to Cave against Scarlets (2 passes, 0 offloads). Last week (v Scarlets), Earls gave 6 passes and 0 offloads).

Foley isn't the first coach to persist with him as a centre. McGahan did, Penney did ahead of Lauala until Dougie got injured and so he was moved to wing.

edit: he called for the kick for his try.
On another break, some say he should have passed out to Ronan O'Mahony rather than inside for a straight run in for a try. Others say that ROM had overrun him so it would have been a forward pass. That was the only iffy decision.

Connacht beat treviso 53-5 to move 6 point clear of Scarlets and 8 from Edinburgh.

Would be an amazing achievement if Lam could get them into the HCx2

Just to clarify.

It wasn't the team I was querying it is the fact that Foley makes wholesale changes for each game.

As has been pointed out some are enforced but most are just this annoying 'bench rotations'.

All I'm sayin' is that if that was our strongest team on Saturday then it would be great if as close as possible to the same team could take the field against the Ospreys next Sat.

As for the match it was a good win and it does seem that Munster have turned a corner in terms of style of gameplay in this block of games.

The offloads are sticking more and the players seem to be much clearer as to what they are trying to achieve.

And on top of that Earls seems to have come back from injury a much better player and is really tearing it up at the moment.

If Joe is watching he must be seriously tempted to bring him into the squad at this stage.

Yeah fair enough. Agree completely. Not sure if its true but Foley seems to rotate more than Penney but I could be wrong. Still I guess there is a weeding out process going on as well and people are being given a chance to prove themselves.

Earls was outstanding all over the park. Would hope to see him included at some stage but not really the way Joe works..who knows he might surprise us all.
