A disgraceful selection from Leinster. I hope they are as kind to us.

Even though Leinster are shy of some of their top class players they have enough there to win. I'm still less than confident but if we can deliver a performance we may have a chance.

I can accept the yellow card, but the penalty try?

Was it a cert Lowe would have caught the ball? Had Earls timing been better it would not have been a try.......

Leavy pass to thon imposter of a scrum half looked marginal at best.

This is a fix. The poor decision to bin Earls and award a PT was a disgrace, now they have robbed Earls of a try, calling a deliberate knock-on from a perfectly fair tackle.

THe FIRFUC's favourite province have to win. :roll: :roll:

And of course from the penalty Mexico go for the corner and it results in a try. 14 point swing.

Final scrum Mathewson ultimately scored from was a scrum penalty also. Four scrum penalties in a row = team yellow.

Not only that but the ref shouting almost immediately on the put in "use it" just as they were going forward again. Luckily he used it beautifully.

Then Archer fecks it up.

That was most annoying. I don't normally like blaming refs but it is difficult to get away from him being responsible for a 14 point swing to Leinster.

I was BBQing for a while so didn't see the entire game but I saw enough to know that the officials including the TMO ensured a win for the hated Mexicans. The Munster scrum was magnificent, even better than Connacht's :duh:

If I were a fan of either team, despite the loss I think Munster appear better placed going into Europe, then again, like Ulster, but not as badly, a few key injuries and the ar$e falls out of it.

Will Munster seek another injury joker at 9?
