[QUOTE="Groundhog, post: 1057921, member: 50079"] Just watched the Munster game and wow I was wrong in thinking we'd have a score put on us. Absolutely fantastic result with the team we sent over. I may have overestimated Scarlets/ was not following their form, but on paper it was a really strong looking side! Really really strong performance by our young players and some players who are a bit unheralded. Cloete was a machine. For a guy who's my height and only slightly less jacked than me he is ridiculously effective in rucks when he times it right and carries pretty well too! Deservedly man of the match even though his try shouldn't have stood imo. Wycherley was the second best player on the pitch after him. Some of the tackles he made were ruthless. I really hope Coombes is let continue and gets games at 13. A properly fast outside center is something we could really use. His two tries were outstanding and he was a big part of our linespeed. Considering he was against a Lion he did extremely well. All of the players who needed big games shone really well. Ahern always beat the gainline, Healy was controlled and threw some absolutely class passes, Nash is in supreme, both O'Sullivan and Barron looked seriously atheltic. O'Donoghues break and kick were absolutely brilliant and I'm glad we've shown again it's a myth that we're incapable of being expansive. Thought guys like Loughman and Cronin were really strong as well. Big black mark is obviously losing RG again. It's extremely frustrating as a fan so I can only imagine how frustrated he is to have another long term cruciate injury. I'd say your mental health would be in the toilet when something like that happens so I hope he is well. On Scarlets I'm sure it wasn't the case but they looked at the very least uninterested. Heads dropped way too early and they butchered so much of their possession. Not sure what's happening there, but they're a very different looking side to seasons past. I think a lot of Munster fans would have taken a LBP when the sides were announced because they're usually one score games when we play. [/QUOTE]
