Probably just about deserved it, missing the players they were that was just outstanding. :clap::clap::clap:

Ah fantastic stuff. Two good teams just hopped off each other.

Scannel and Arnold just sensational saw off Nonu Bastareaud and then Fekitoa. All about the fight in the dog

It was like a kick return in American football. Unbelievable clutch play. Probably the greatest try ever in Thomond Park, I can’t think of a better one.

Munster were very lucky to win that overall though.

Murray’s try was the rugby equivalent of that time Shay Given threw the ball in front of him and forgot Dion Dublin was behind him.

Comedy ineptness from Toulon.

Larmour scored the best try ever in thomond.

Barry Murphy v sale was another brilliant score from distance

That was simply amazing.

Every part of that is high level skill and awareness

Murphy’s try was the only one I could think of as rivalling it.

Larmour’s was a good try but it was in a glorified friendly.

Conway’s beats either because of the circumstances.

They love Munster rugby on the mainland.

As good a sporting contest as you will see.

Some ridiculously good refereeing too though, both ways

Most lads would have touched it down in the corner. Great awareness to cut inside in the heat of the moment knowing they badly needed the conversion

Conway try wS fantastic opportunism, skill and athleticism.

Murphy comes close (from memory) because Gloucester were actually awake and defending.

A number of the Toulon players reacted slowly. All part of the game but I think that makes it a 9/10 as opposed to 10/10 try.

It was no surprise that Chris Ashton was the one who fucked up Toulon’s last chance. A player of dubious character if ever there was one.

I was reliably informed that he was simply “allowed to leave” his rugby league club.

He was the one driving them on, played very very well
