Dunning is a legend!

haha deadly, nice to see he can actually do something, gwan matt, quality :happy clapper:
His team mates were not impressed with that drop goal because it was late in the game and they needed a try. Hence his team mate giving out to him and then him putting his hands on his head realising what a stupid thing he had just done!



ammmm, yes i got that, i can hear the commentary and see the score too :oops:
typical dunning i suppose
Big match from Munster.Don't really understand the criticism of their so called ugly rugby.I love open running rugby but I also admire the collective mastery of this Munster team.What a beautiful machine with that ruthless side to them.

i would imagine the reason is if anything happened to rog there would be no goalkicker on the bench
Yeah, fair point but Flutey has kicked decently in the past for L.I. Would've thought he'd provide the cover in the event of ROG getting injured. Would think ROG is getting a full 80 minutes unless he picks up a niggle.

Why has Phillips suddenly become all dopey at the base? Taking hours over every decision. Lee Mears looking pretty good

clearing out of the rucks is not helping him.

Scrums are a mess. Mears did well for his try and is generally working hard around the park.

Frustrating as hell.

Philips dreadful. They're overplaying the forwards and not giving the backs a chance.

Poor leadership from O'Connell. He never shuts up when he's playing for Munster but he's barely saying a word to the ref and he should be giving our yards about the scrums.

I still think Phillips is looking very hesitant. Scrums are farcical alright, Kaplan is doing nothing here.

Jamie coming to life in a big way. O'Connell's need to carry the ball is hurting the side.

POC's desire to carry the ball at all costs against us at Croker wasn't much help to his team, and there's been a lot more of the same on this tour unfortunately. Wallace and Heaslip looking good, brilliance from Drico.

Kaplan is heartbroken to bin a Natal player for a blatant trip on Williams.

Jamie with the last try after forcing the turnover. Hook with the conversion for final score of 39-03.

Delighted for Jamie, deserved that for a great second half performance.
