[QUOTE="Muse_Cubed, post: 311032, member: 12841"] I can't argue with that although the scoreline was a little bit flattering to Munster...I'm so proud of Saints though - they were in the match for 76 minutes and you just thought that a little bit of Saints magic could've sealed it; but ultimately the difference between the two teams is that Saints needed the magic and Munster didn't - absolutely lethal from the set piece in the 22 and the second half kicking from ROG was outstanding, our back three had about two or three chances to counter in the entire match which is our biggest weapon. Dowson and Lawes were unusually quiet too, I know PD was carrying a knock, they just weren't the animals they usually are, especially when we needed a Courtney special on one of the half backs. I thought we were unlucky with a couple of decisions but also should've put away another try or two (I think that 9 times out of 10, Myler's cross kick finds Ashton, looked like the wind carried it a bit). I loved watching the ROG tackling clinic though, he was getting repeatedly trucked by Downey, Wilson and Hartley. But in the end it has to be said: well played Munster...O'Leary was so dangerous, Warwick and Earls always seemed to make something happen and their pack acquitted themselves very well, especially without POC.
