[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 926901, member: 45598"] Apart from a couple dodgy penalties against Leinster on either side of HT Murphy did as well as you can expect from any ref. I can't even blame him much for those calls either, it'd be human nature to act in favour of the home side after all the **** the away side got up to in the first half hour. Three high tackles, the third after a warning - fair yellow. Furlong probably should have seen red too (has there been a citing yet?) although if he had I doubt the Lowe incident would have happened as a result. The penalty going against Sexton after the scrumcap incident was fine, it lacked a bit of consistency later when Munster started a brawl after Healy's high tackle which didn't see the peno reversed. So much happened in the opening 30 that mistakes were bound to happen too. Murphy was as good as I've seen from an Irish ref in years, the officials didn't ruin the spectacle. The result doesn't mean much to us in context of the season, obviously losing to Munster is always **** though. We need to win our next three games desperately and focus on maturing a lot over the second half of the season. Leinster's slow starts and petulance are beginning to cost them, you never saw that with Isa around and Kearney seems to be a level head, and notably the only senior player to Sexton, that we miss dearly when gone too [/QUOTE]
