@KarlBrophy They look better without prenderboy? surprise surprise

Yet another game that Leinster should have wrapped up way earlier and won by more but they deserve credit for getting there in the end. The attacking shape is looking better. Lions physical and dangerous but not very smart and poor in the air.

@ReadRugbyU @jim_demps Hendersons was him joining a ruck. This was dynamic movement directly from a tackle. Never the same

@jim_demps Henderson got the same punishment for a similar incident with Ulster last night. Twisting the body and putting pressure on the leg

The standard of officiating is at an all time low in rugby. Yellow card for a croc roll? Where? Get out of here. Not even worth blowing the whistle for.

@Kieranbcfc2 It's insane to me that despite having good young players like foxe and wood that we're still playing the same players who aren't doing the job. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome

Alaalatoa has to be the worst signing we have ever made. #CONvMUN

@ste_ph_en__ @allTxs It's a shocking call. Dynamic movement and he was already rolling with momentum. Huge mitigation and yet upgraded to a red. Rugby incidents are now cards the games gone

@allTxs You can see him actively roll him. If it was what youre implying then the TMO wouldn't have even called it. It was still unfortunate but that action is illegal and WR have no tolerance for it anymore

Thats really unfortunate for Barron imo but it is an illegal action #CONvMUN

@dave_or_chips Coaching staff is dire.

To be so lacking in cohesion with so few of these lads having been in Ireland camp is disappointing to put it mildly... #SHAvMUN

@EnslinMavunga Lovely early push by the sharks to destabilize. Brilliant refereeing to allow it

Wow. Munster were lucky to keep that ball of the scrum. They really got driven back crazy #SHAvMUN

@Biggles1972 To be fair think this is a result of shambolic coaching and team selection. The team is completely disjointed and jj looks completely out of his depth throwing horrible passes lining up his own players to be smashed

It's games like this where luxury players like Ahern are shown up, a serious lack of power, or maybe it's his lack of games if being kind. #SHAvMUN

@Munsterrugby Couple of players holding their positions through blackmail. Don't quite understand what the team selection is

⏱️HT in Durban. #SUAF 🔴 | #SHAvMUN

@RyanSam1980 @RuaidhriOC If it's even up for trial, you know you've done something wrong. Get him out

@RuaidhriOC Amazing comments from clowns who have no idea what happened but have already made up their minds.

@RTEsport Where's this level of scrutiny on Prederboys tackling? Not even a mention that one of the kicks got moved with 10s to go with no clock reset or the fact that both our kickers conversion %s have dropped through the floor since sextons arrival?

'There will come a stage where he has to take them or Munster and Ireland are going to lose games that they should win' - The #AgainsttheHead panel discuss Jack Crowley's goal-kicking #RTESport #RTERugby

@Rugby_Scoop Think France should be, given they have more points

I think Scotland should be number 1 on this table, based on the fact that they beat France.

@BrophShane Need a new kicking coach. Both our tens % took a nose dive under sexton

Ireland desperately need a 95% place kicker. Some awful misses from Crowley again

@slatterywill Any mention on both 10s getting progressively worse under sextons tutelage?

Crowley will never have a nailed down place in this team unless he sorts out his place kicking Too many points left out there for club and country And too many easy ones missed

@bensmithrugby Lads if you actually listened to it you would have heard he admitted he himself was all fart no poo

Marler calling Etzebeth a fake tough guy. He’s more qualified than anyone to say, but in Etzebeth’s defence he has played almost entirely in the jersey-pull era. He can’t throw any. He’s restrained himself very well because he gets heated all the time. If he could throw some, let’s not sugarcoat. Flies would drop. Rules have changed and he plays by the rules. Team first guy despite unsportsmanlike conduct.

@FMC_Rugby Thought the same myself. He's doing it constantly

Why is Pollock allowed to get up with ball in hand after he’s tackled and held? Is it cos he’s great for the game?

@HarryZach24 @CorkGourmetGuy @IrishRugby Didn't the players who are injured get absolutely rinsed on the scrum v SA?

@CorkGourmetGuy @IrishRugby The Irish front row has been the weak link so far. Yes only there because of injuries

With all the focus on other issues for @IrishRugby I think it's unfair that Jeremy Loughman has gotten overlooked. A month ago no one would have thought of him as a starting Irish International but when called upon he has stepped up massively & held his own under huge pressure.

@Michael76435361 @rossmcc_1 @CorkGourmetGuy @IrishRugby Because he's held his side of the scrum and you're saying he's not good enough. He locked out his side of the scrum while the other side disintegrated, but he's bad? Joe McCarthy has shown that his technique is horrible but no one even mentions him.

@rossmcc_1 @CorkGourmetGuy @IrishRugby They were all brutal but the other two have proved themselves before at that level . Why are idiots always so quick to reduce everything to a provincial bias .

@RedArmyPod Few more including a big lad to slot in next to him and we're cooking

Hey look we signed a guy And a really good player too

@eogfelton @PhilAndrewPhoto @paulie_golfer Have you not taken notice of the amount of young players England, SA and France cap year on year? France literally did a tour of NZ with an entire fresh squad. Are they any worse for it?

@PhilAndrewPhoto @paulie_golfer Ok. but the gung ho calls to cap every young player who has a good few weeks in the URC when we're right in the middle of the 6 nations also wears thin after a while. the fact is there aren't that many test matches every year, but the 6 Nations ones are the most important.

@bogcottage @__LFCJack__ @ballsdotie Because there's a lot of interpretation. He saw it as no ruck formed because he thought he was the first man or the ruck wasn't formed. He went for the ball, holly said it wasn't legal, so he let go immediately. All refs do it, but he listened and still got pinged was harsh

@__LFCJack__ @ballsdotie I see where you're coming from, and that is confusing, but I'd love to see less coaching by the refs. If you're wrong, you're wrong. Players know the rules.
