[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 669585, member: 13611"] One decision stands out. A minute or so into the second half, Munster are awarded a penalty 5 metres out and Edinburgh have a flanker sin binned. Coupled with their other flanker being in the bin, there's a golden opportunity to put the squeeze on in the scrum and earn a try. What do Munster do? Kick it to touch and negate that blindingly obvious advantage. That's not a coaching error, that's an error on the field. As for the coaching, it's early days so I'll reserve judgement until there's a bigger sample size. What I found worrying is the lack of invention in the backs and aggression in the pack for the most part. There was no sign of the coaching staff putting their stamp on things with defined patterns of play. Perhaps we'll see this emerge once the top players return because on the evidence of tonight, a few of those on the field aren't up to it. I wonder was that in the leaked performance review! Edinburgh looked limited but well drilled. Keep it up and they'll finish mid table. [/QUOTE]
