First 10 minutes Alaalatoa concedes 2 scrum pens, throws a forward pass and then knocks out tom Ahern (unintentionally but still)

A comedy of errors

I really hope he isn’t kept on. The man is cursed.

Fuck , I missed the first half (watched the rest without commentary seeing as i was on holidays) and didn't realise Ahern went . Did he fail his HIA? He has no luck at all. At least there's no games him between this and the summer tour so hopefully he'll get a call up

Just a reminder, our missing front 5

Lee Barron (neck), Roman Salanoa (hamstring), Michael Milne (calf), Oli Jager (head/concussion), Tadhg Beirne (knee), Edwin Edogbo (shoulder), Jean Kleyn (biceps)

This will be a tough watch

Late to the party but Kleyns also in a sling. Saw him when picking up a suit recently when he was getting a tux for the end of season awards. It's a shame he didn't get a decent run this season as he was a massive servant to the club but he was really off form for us when he did play this year

I might be off to the playground with the kids at halftime, if this continues

I think the big worry is we look like a really badly coached team now and that shit will run on into next season . Defence and set piece are awful and players look off it int he breakdown .

Munster decision-making is abysmal.

I'd like to say this has been a fun season but it really hasn't been so I'm kinda glad in a way it's coming to an end. Next season can only be better

Lads, I know were having a terrible game but is anyone else seeing the bad referee decision (obstrust, rucking in the side, hands on the floor, slow moving away from the ruck, offfsides)

As I write this we give them a try, but if we are losing cause we're bad (which we are to a certain extent) that's fair but the decision are so bad and slow!

But it is painful watching this...
