That is what we get for our pathetic attempts on kick-offs. Put ourselves under so much pressure.

Oh wow great play from Cronk Munster and finally Smith, lets finish this.

Agree Chambers has been poor in general since Origin.

Great try Munster, set up beautifully by Cronk. This conversation is directly in front. Smith a 50/50 chance of kicking it.

Poor option by Green. Marika had no room and was well marked.

After a long dry spell, he is swimming in tries today. Great stuff.

Great win after a shockingly poor opening 30 minutes. MOTM Munster, honourable mentions to Duffie & Nelson Asofa-Solomona.

NAS was awesome!
Munster was incredible and runaway MOM.
Would really like to see a little bit more effectiveness in stopping the offload but much better commitment in the second 40.

Yep. This was our issue in the first half. We were getting numbers into tackles but still allowing offloads. We crumble when teams successfully offload against us... To our credit, we (mostly) fixed that up.

If we didn't screw up so many kick-offs, we could have pulled further away.

Really poor start, but got much better. Heads still not 100% in the game. I think Cooper's two disasters with kick offs are indicative of the team mindset - he is the ultimate professional, so if he isn't fully focused its a fair sign no one is.

Great to see Duff back near his best, and I'm really enjoying watching NAS and Welsh. Munster is a gun.

Not a great performance, but steps in the right direction.

One final point. I have been saying for 10 years that we need another first choice goal kicker. That hasn't changed; a couple of Cam's misses today were just piss poor.
We must all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately
