[QUOTE="munstermuffin, post: 467488, member: 39240"] Think your being majorly unfair to Munster here. Owens missed some calls for both teams not just 1. Second Saints try was a forward pass BEFORE ROG knocked it on. And well there was alot of borderline calls the Saints got that could easily have been given as offside when their defense was at the limit. And lastly this is fact Saints had a glorious opportunity to put us to the sword and kill the game and well it wasn't Owens but the Russian winger who bottled the chance of simply holding the ball and he was in. Saints are a good team and have respect but there is no need for this sour grapes and bitterness (not saying this is at you individually Mite) and realize it was a Heineken Cup classic and we won in a game that was 50/50 up until final whistle. And well on a final point, after rewatching the game, Mallinder commented on Saints dominating the scrum. This was only when Hayes came on and they got 2 pens but every time the Saints tried to maul we stopped them and after 2 stops it should've been our ball but Owens was generous to Saints in giving plenty of time. Anyways just dissappointed there are some sour grapes , although to be fair any Saints fan here was very gracious in defeat, and people aren't realizing Munster won (lucky as it was) in a classic.
