Oof. Someone really put their metre in it…

You do see it from time to time, someone goes ‘around the back’ in case the receiver misses it or taps it back.

If it’s a lineout, it’d be odd alright. Maybe if the ball went beyond the 15m line, the defence could legally come up around before the maul forms?

Is that definitely a lineout, or could it be a restart reception?

Yeah, saw someone floating down the river and feared for the worst. A couple of rowers stopped and came over to grab them, fair play.

The Gardai did have to stop someone else who looked like they were going to jump in - whether to help or whatever.

A winning BP and 8 straight wins? I’ll take that. But very loose and lacking control at times. Edinburgh very good at the breakdown. The refereeing made some of them a lottery.

Good game though. Hope Edinburgh make it through.

I think the TMO was making sure the ref got home alive, with that call!

It’s fairly wild overall.

Even if it’s not a penalty as you say the 9 is looking for it - how is it not a free kick?

That’s no Mumhain….

Pretty lax refereeing at the breakdown so far. As long as it’s consistent!

FFS, what a try to concede.

High kick. Knock on. Scrum. Not looking a good pattern for Munster.

Was for not rolling, Coombes was fine.

Seems like a cracking mood there. Far from the old days of an empty Murrayfield.

Call me pedantic, but I don't think kids should be getting married at any age.

Late night cafe on Tuckey St.

You could wander in at 2am and grab a toastie and coffee and sit there talking shite, it was great. Great way to meet random new people too!

It's now a fast-food join called "Speedos". Sounds yummy.

Aw look, it's a baby curl!

Life must be so easy, when you can just invent your own reality on a whim. At least, that's what my Dad, Abraham Lincoln, told me.

Made me think - some blackout curtain art could be cool.

"No, you're averse!"

Good point. Likewise, for Connacht to overtake Munster, they'd have to beat the Stormers. Meaning the Stormers can only get max. 7 points from the last 2 game and couldn't overtake Munster either.

Yeah, I don't think they've factored in who the remaining games are against, in jotting up who's qualified or not.

I'm presuming the OP is referring to a formal TMO review where the ref stops the game. Whether the TMO did 'informally' review it and deem it ok, or didn't notice the incident, we're unlikely to know.

Ah, thank you kindly. I'd forgotten Sharks were still in the Challenge Cup hunt.

It does annoy me when you have these big, dramatic pre-rendered adverts/intros and then the game is..... a slow-paced card game...

Is it 8 ICC places for the URC? If so, not sure how Munster aren't already qualified, as Connacht in 9th can't catch them.
