[QUOTE="shtove, post: 187123"] So much going on in that match. We won with two beautiful tries, but Gloucester could have had two for themselves, except Munster's wide defence gambled on cutting out the wide passes. Kidney's selection turned out perfect. Tipoki and Mafi had good games, but so did O'Leary, Hurley and Dowling. Leinster's stranglehold on three-quarters quality in Ireland is in danger, and I'd be pencilling in Reddan's P45 at this stage. Moment of the match was a contact rip by Tipoki/Mafi (too many beers to remember) in the second half on the near touchline in Munster's 22 - huge spirit and skill. In second place: the realisation that Howlett wasn't taken out as he offloaded to Hurley, and so was free to follow up the brilliant grubber for the second try - basic mistake by Gloucester. Only worry - Buckley's substitution. Not sure we have the scrum to take this championship. And the maul didn't go anywhere. But the lineout and breakdown work is superior. Lamb is talented, but too flip and jokey for a grown up tournament. And what a moment for Paterson to choke on his own vomit! "Manic Depression ..." etc! (sorry, Jimmy Hendrix and all that.) [/QUOTE]
