[QUOTE="shtove, post: 95031"] Yeah, intense, but kinda disappointing. Munster showed no improvement out the backs. Their backrow was awesome - I think there were four turnovers in the second half, when the Leinster backs went into contact. Leinster backs strangely subdued, preferring to go with Hickey's giant kicking. I hope Dempsey's ok. And they were playing russian roulette with Contepomi. The scrum was hard to judge: Munster had three in a row on Leinster's 22 - the first two they powered forward only to be reset, and Leinster wheeled the third and mucked up Leamy. Just coming up to half time, Leinster gave away great position with an ankle stamp. Then I was thinking the winners would score before the break - and both teams kicked penalties within a minute! And ROG had one of his screwiest miskicks of all time, when the ball went into touch sideways. But put up a lovely garryowen to welcome Kearney at full back. Leinster are hamstrung by the pack's need to give penalties away. Munster will have to find an alternative way of scoring against a pack that doesn't give away penalties and doesn't crumple in the rolling maul. [/QUOTE]
