Munster have been impressive, although the scarlets defensively have been shocking. Worry for syman hobbling off again.

21 missed tackles for Scarlets and still five minutes to go. Absolutely toothless.

I would hope Peel has them in for extra training.

Premier Sports should do the same with the commentators too.

I am sure that if it is a long term injury then IRFU will give them the funding to sign Etzebeth

That’s awful news for the lad. I was looking forward to seeing him play.

Premier Sports managed to miss the incident but I think he took a big hit as he claimed a restart.

Massive blow for him. Also for Munster and the league. The lows of sport can be so cruel.

I'd say marcel will be a good contact for him. Proof that u can come back from 2 serious injuries one after the other.

I wasn’t convinced at the time when the IRFU were trying to re-house Carbery that he would have been a good fir for Ulster and his current form for Munster seems to confirm this.
You winsome and you lose some I think this was a win for Ulster. Burns may not be perfect but he has some real nice touches and seems to be committed and happy at Ulster. It is just a pity he wasn’t more ruggedly built.

How could Wasps lose to a bunch of kids making their club debut? The red card was harsh and the nucleus of seasoned pros did well but Wasps can have no excuses.

Wasps missing 17 through injury then another 4 that were due to start on the morning of the game due to covid. How many internationals were on each team?

The Premiership outfit have seen four players who were yesterday named to start ruled out, with one replacement player also forced to withdraw. The withdrawals have forced a number of positional changes too.

Of course, Munster have had their own severe Covid disruption in the build-up to this game, with 34 senior players missing due to positive cases in their camp during and after the recent trip to South Africa.

Wasps’ late setback comes after they had already seen 18 senior players ruled out of this game due to injury.

Out-half Jacob Umaga has been forced out of the Munster clash, meaning Jimmy Gopperth moves to the number 10 shirt, Josh Bassett shifts from the wing into midfield, and 22-year-old Luke Mehson comes into the team out wide for his fourth Wasps cap.

Lock pairing Sebastian de Chaves and Elliott Stooke have also been withdrawn, resulting in captain Brad Shields moving from the back row into the second row as 24-year-old Tim Cardall comes into the starting XV.

In-form number eight Tom Willis has also been ruled out of the Munster clash, meaning 21-year-old Alfie Barbeary moves to the back of the scrum as Thomas Young and Nizaam Carr come into the starting back row.

Replacement back Francois Hougaard has also been ruled out as Wasps revert to a 5/3 bench split, meaning Tommy Mathews and Cameron Anderson come into the matchday 23.

Kieran Curran takes the second row replacement spot on the Wasps bench after Cardall’s promotion into the starting XV. Replacement hooker Gabriel Oghre now appears set to cover the back row, as Michael van Vuuren comes into the matchday 23.

I’m sure Munster are delighted.

What are Bath thinking?!!
