Munster shouldn't be the kicker for any team in the world. We've actually had quite a large sample size on it now. It has to stop.

I know this has already been mentioned, but why is Munster first choice goal kicker?! Speaking of kicking, our kicking in general has been abysmal.

It is clear DCE has entered his elite stage. He's got it on a string.

I say it each week we are under the pump but Welch is still out there doing a huge opening stint. This is what a captain does! Love the leadership.

Frustrating.

Also - with all that’s been made of hip drop penalties this week how on earth was that awful tackle on Munster not penalised? Dreadful.

Ref letting manly grub it up as much as they like.
No penalty for the elbow to Olam's head or the facial afterwards.
No penalty for the late hit on Hughes.
No penalty for the cannonball on Munster.
And a late shoulder charge to Munster's head is only a sin bin.

Not happy. (And I suspect my neighbors know it lol.)

Ignoring the cannonball on Munster was insane. Hoping they don’t miss it on review of the game. Was a shocker.

I think Pezet at 5/8 and Meany at FB is a better on field combo than Pezet and Munster at FB. I feel Munster is being asked to do a bit of both and as a result he's doing both roles poorly.

The forward pack have been uninspiring and the top playmakers have been awful.

Edit: "pathetic" is probably a little harsh given the conditions and reffing, but we're far from good, put it that way.
