Crowley's kicking is a disaster. He needs to spend hours in practice. Not enough heft in that pack, more passengers in that Munster pack than in 2 Titanics.
Crowley's kicking has been dreadful of late. Those conversions were no gimmies but he should be knocking some over. Hope he can get it right for the new year. I was surprised he was picked for today with the big game against Leinster coming up next week. He may have wanted to play himself I think but he also needs a little rest.
Was Werner Kok hit very high just before Munster's winning try? Only saw the briefest of replays but the commentators did seem to think so (in Irish admittedly) when that replay was shown.
Not sure why Ulster never went wide and used their backs. Their forwards were hammering our boys on the line and just kept doing the same thing over and over. Very interesting game, right down to the wire. Fair dues to Ulster, down to 14 men but mostly used 8
Neutral here. I genuinely do not like that red card. To me, the only reason it was looked at was due to the injury. He's fallen on another player, not targeted the limb. Targeting the limb = red for sure, but that's not what happened. He's got a red because of where he landed. Is that the rule now? Fwiw, yeah, that was a struggle of a game, and the ref not dishing out yellows to Munster was glaringly weird, but Ulster playing too narrow and failing to convert opportunities isn't a surprise. Big Munster defensive shift was very impressive tho
Thought the quality was pretty poor from both teams but in different areas. Munster could not get their hands on the ball without hemorrhaging silly penalties, but when they did get the ball they had 0 issues ripping through the soggy tissue paper defense Ulster were attempting to block them with. You'd almost be afraid for Ulster to score because it means a re-start and Munster might actually get a chance to hold the ball.
Some times you don't want to talk about refs but damn Whitehouse was not up to the standard that's needed some shocking poor and very inconsistent officiating...
@@TwoCentsRugbythat's true but as someone that had no skin in this game and simply watching it as a neutral he was extremely easy on one side and should have given at least 3 cards I'd hate to see what the pen count for Munster was like in their 22 as it was racking up gotta ask yourself would Munster have had the numbers to score that try at the end if they’d have had a player in the bin also there was a very suspicious hit on Kok before the try that should have been a pen but wasn’t brought back
@@ritchiebirnie6124 think when a team has that many warnings and coughs up that many pens POST warning to not get a card is frustrating as anything and arguably pours petrol on to the abuse that officials get, as fans all you want is consistency and a fair craic of the whip and tonight Ulster we left scratching their heads in disbelief whilst Munster were scratching theirs thinking fk me we dodged one tonight
You can see what Munster are doing now! Defend like animals and counter attack with nice handling! Leamy defence Prendergast attack..If Munster had Taigh Beirne, Edwin Adogbo peter O Mahony craig Casey Jean Klein and others back they will be very good!
As a Munster fan,how the **** did we win this? We played bad but just about pulled it off. Ulster are a good team but christ they were so narrow and one dimensional today. Nank and Ward injuries is sad to see.
We won because our defense was able to stop them scoring from 3-4 line outs in a row & every time Ulster would score we scored back.. Ulster looked a lot more fatigued than us as well in the 2nd half & that's probably because they were down to 14 men for 3/4 of the game. Munster were lucky to win imo but atleast we did it 🤷♂️ losing to Leinster next Friday won't feel so bad...
The first half was a real war of attrition and in the second it opened up slightly. I feel a bit sorry for Ulster because they kept at it all game but Munster had a bit more cutting edge so fair play to them. Very watchable game as a neutral.
@@TwoCentsRugbyLeinster v Connacht interpro might be a juicy one tomorrow. Leinster fielding an experimental squad and Connacht nearly full strength, they'll definitely fancy a pop.
Ben wants to be the next Nigel Owens, however Nigel became a star being fair and having brilliant one liners. Ben just wants to be the centre of attention and is a shite ref
I’d agree that given the number of penalties, a card should’ve come out. On the other hand, some of the penalties were nonsense , the one in the 72nd minute on 19 for not rolling away when Munster had jacked the ball for instance, rewatch that and explain how he possibly had any impact on the clear out
We was robbed. I know I'm biased, but that was a terrible refereeing performance. Munster's defence was certainly very effective, but if there's no cost to giving away goal line penalties there's no incentive not to defend illegally. They also persistently lay on the wrong side of the ball at the breakdown and were never called for it. After one tackle in the first half, there was still a guy lying on the wrong side of the ball from the previous tackle. Munster's first try came after they knocked the ball on and the ref played advantage and didn't call it back when there was none, and their last try involved a forward pass. And O'Toole's red card was very harsh. Our backs continue to drop like flies. On the positive side, academy lad (and head coach's son) Jack Murphy came on and gave the most assured performance at 10 that we've seen this season. Nepotism be damned, I'd like to see him start against Connacht. The regulars don't look like turning this season around, we need to start blooding more youngsters.
Possibly it is just that I am aware of the Ulster injuries, and other sides have just as bad issues, but we do seem to have terrible problems with players getting crocked going back ages now.
@@johnmurray2995 Munster also have a very long injury list, but I think their injuries are mainly in the forwards. Even their medical joker South African prop, Dian Bleuler, is injured.
I see why hairball on the wing has so much energy to annoy everyone, because Ulster can't be bothered moving the ball out wide. I love seeing them lose. Always have. Always will. 😂😂😂
No offence to munster and ulster fans but that was one of the most turgid games of rugby i have ever watched. Like watching edinburgh last season play their second team

Munster backs save the day. Plus, it's incredible defence.
Munster scrape back into the top 8. Bizarrely, they're playing much better after rowntree left.
Crowleys kicks tho...
That defensive shift was pretty nuts - even before the red card

He knows. Look at his body language. Enough pressure.

TMO cleared it, on the shoulder, no head contact

You're right, Ulster were very one-dimensional. Talk about bashing it up.
Ulster might win the bosh merchants interpro cup.

I don't think he's anyone's favoutite.... him and Mike Adamson 😅
they had hidden him as a TMO for a long time...just when you thought it was safe to go back on the field...
He was awful

Solid work, TC! Didn't see the game myself. 97% tackle rate is mental!
Two players at 34 tackles is ridiculous
im glad we won but ben whitehouse shouldnt be let anywhere near a game as part of an officiating team

Munster fan. Red card was a joke 🙄
Oh jeez this season is going from bad to worse for us. 😢🤦
I honestly thought you guys had it when you scored with 5 to go....
That result is a bit of a gut punch, have to feel for Ulster because they played their hearts out.
@@TwoCentsRugbyI know, but our inability to secure the return kick off really came to bite us this evening.
Yeah, the season is going sideways pretty badly. Hopefully they can keep the heads up, and turn it around, but very frustrating.

Proper tense, gritty rugby.
Proper tense, gritty rugby football match.
Such a poor match from 2 sides short on form . Ulster inability to defend kick offs ultimately difference.
As a munster fan , crowley is not international standard, he is mr inconsistent.
Yeah he's been one bad game followed by a good cameo, followed by another bad game for a while now.
@@Camcolitoas a munster fan, i pass the torch to prendergast
Honestly, lad, even as Leinster fan, I backed Crowley over Frawley and Prendergast. It's becoming harder to do so now.
A poor view for the neutral....?
I thought it entertaining but I doubt either team will be bothering the winner's podium at any time this year.
It was an entertaining game to watch I thought.
