A strong-looking Lions side. Only four players of 38-player travelling squad won't have been involved yet after the opening two games: Keenan (calf), Gibson-Park (glute), Kinghorn (Toulouse, Top 14 final) and James Ryan (carrying something?)...

Sharks behaviour: the verbals, playacting, winking, time wasting, actual staff and bench booing a kicker, all clearly in the mould of Erasmus. No surprise he would have watched and had no issue. The man is a joke…

If SA rugby fans wonder why their teams and supporters are disliked, look at Hendrikse's behaviour and look how it is defended. He wasn't provoked. He was just being a d*ck. In the law book, if shout at a player taking a kick during the 80, it would be order to be retaken.

How on earth has Underhill avoided red there? A monumentally poor piece of officiating from Davidson - in a final! Lyon will have big complaints at the end of this one you'd imagine...

Only this iteration of Munster could lose Nash, Casey, Coombes, O'Mahony, Hodnett a week after Euro QF, plus Jager within 15 mins, & a week after that, lose Ahern, Wycherley, Murray with POM, Hodnett, Jager still out - make it 4 seasons in a row now of insane level of injuries?

In a game lost by 3 points, Munster incorrectly reduced to 14 for 14 mins due to colossal error by officials. Likely ends any hope of home QF & under pressure to make Europe. How did O'Donovan & touchline staff not march on the pitch to stop it? They mustn't have known either...

Munster signing the likes of Michael Milne and JJ Hanrahan for next season, Leinster - with 11 central contracts, Snyman from Munster and Slimani - are now signing Rieko Ioane too...are we still pretending this is normal?

Stunning result for Munster, who barring the shock of the round if Ulster win tomorrow, have no reward at all in having to go to Bordeaux in the quarters - that side of the draw is a brute. To hold out and win it after such a poor penalty try call late on too was massive

Despite calls from pretty much every corner now for Crowley to start in Rome, the quotes and tone of this suggest to me Prendergast is going to start again 🤷‍♂️ It's one of the most bizarre situations I can remember covering Ireland. What must Crowley be thinking at all...

Unsure if Nash picked up an injury vs Edinburgh, but there were pics of him in IRE training this week. The Leinsterfication of Ireland continues in earnest with left-footer named on right wing ahead of Nash, who by all accounts played well vs Scotland before losing his place...
