Bad rugby in bad weather in front of a tiny crowd with awful commentary in the worst town in Europe.
That good, eh?
Oh me of little faith well done Munster.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.
Poor standard but fair play I didn't see that one coming. Well done turnips. Scarlets have been talked up as contenders this season, early days but I fancy a challenge from Cardiff if FNW stays fit.
Great to win in Llanelli- usually beyond us.

Both sides had a good start in R1, could be an interesting watch especially with Big Nick involved.
It looks the weakest Munster team of the last 15-20 years, then again I thought they be horsed last week so I'm saying feck all.

The Munster Cardiff game is like watching 15-a-side 7s rugby. On one hand it's enjoyable attacking off-loading rugby, on the other any defensive efforts are laughable. Big Nick is cream crackered after 10 mins.
Never wrestle with a pig. You end up covered in muck and the pig loves it.
Aye, quite enjoyable all right. Munster are relying totally on the kick chase. Caaaaaaaaaaaaadiff look a little more structured but that wouldn't be hard.
On diminutive pocket sized ref Ian Davies, when scalding him later in the season, as well to remember what a very good advantage he played for the Munster try Sometimes they get it right.

In other news, "the Greatest Backline in Europe" failing to score a try against a 13 man defence as Embra have yellow card syndrome.
Houl'on, aye you're right Russ, humped, 20-24 10 to go.

Bate 23-24. Strange decision with 9 minutes left to kick a pen when they had scored a good try from a penalty to the corner 10 minutes earlier.
Never got back to the Blues 22.

Couple of decent tries but fek me, the amount of kicking is depressing. They get a turnover and their first thought is to boot it away as quickly as possible. The internationals coming on for Cardiff added a slither of quality.
Climb up onto the top of your house and start screaming: 'stand up for the Ulstermen, stand.......'
I was just keeping one eye on the game and didn't realise Cardiff were leading going into the final few minutes. Wondered what on earth they were playing at in the final minute taking it up through the forwards instead of going for a score.
You haven't seen me at my best yet. Let's be honest, you probably never will.
