Difficult to see the players on some of the wide shots, ball's got no chance.

Being white does not help. You'd think there'd be a bright yellow or orange alternative.

55 minutes and literally the first time Ntamack has gone fwds with ball in hand

Switch between the two matches. Suppose Embra playing well.

I've seen it a couple of times, but it is pretty rare. Fairly sure one of the previous occasions was at Thomnd Park too.

Tbh I had issues with that penalty, the tackler just wrapped him up and never released

Well, that certainly goes high up on the "how did they not score that" list

James Lang is just not good enough

Won't lie, hearing Quinlan moan about imaginary infringements and the partisan Munster crowd getting outraged over perfectly valid decisions gives me joy.

Munster have spent the entire game illegally clearing out at rucks (from the side) or sealing off.

Posted: **Sun Dec 11, 2022 4:53 pm**

Edinburgh have thrown this away - missed an open goal and then butchered their own lineout again. Sarries very fortunate.

True - I thought the same when I saw the replay.

Seems the child ref is happy to be dictated to by the Munster crowd.

Posted: **Sun Dec 11, 2022 4:56 pm**

Oooh -game on again. Terrific attack frm Edinburgh and they're back in the game.

Posted: **Sun Dec 11, 2022 4:57 pm**

Willis has been a fucking menace since he came on.

He's done well to ignore the crowd a lot during this game, but that definitely felt like a homer decision.

Very lazy defending from Sarries there - just stood around watching.

Welcome to the life of an Edinburgh supporter.

Posted: **Sun Dec 11, 2022 5:10 pm**

Edinburgh very unlucky, Sarries very scrappy, but a lot of that was down to Edinburgh really putting them under the cosh...oh, and Farrell was utter shit.

Posted: **Sun Dec 11, 2022 5:14 pm**

Entertaining game. Will never know how Edinburgh butchered that try and they really lost their heads at the ref. Faz is clearly too injured to kick and not letting Loz/Daly do it nearly cost us. Now to try and defrost my feet…

I was distracted for much of the 2nd half, but that is not how I would describe Farrells performance, thought he was good

Edinburgh played really well - with a bit more composure they'd have nicked it. Sarries just about found a way to win, and do it with a BP. They'll need to be much better than that of they want to make an imppression on big boys in this tournament.

Nice to have a young english 9, 10 and 12 playing for Tigers.
Van Poortfliet, atkinson and kelly. Kelly playing well.

Very nice from him just there to offload to Porter then drag the Ospreys player into touch on the kick chase.

It is a weak front 3 and team for Tigers. Got to think we have loads of injuries.

On the flipside, Anthony Watson is looking really sharp

Gave it a miss. Looked turgid on paper. Need Ospreys to do me a favour in the FR here since just noticed Superbru moved the goalposts again.

Posted: **Sun Dec 11, 2022 6:47 pm**

Could Webb be any more orange? He looks a total twat.

Posted: **Sun Dec 11, 2022 6:52 pm**

Quality from Watson

Posted: **Sun Dec 11, 2022 6:52 pm**

Wow, that was some try by Watson

Posted: **Sun Dec 11, 2022 6:53 pm**

Well taken, but it was pretty feeble defence.

In a game where scores have been in short supply, that's a big moment.

Posted: **Sun Dec 11, 2022 6:53 pm**

Great individual try from Watson.

You could argue every try is down to feeble defence, but that i feel was more individual brilliance.

What happened?
Been playing great, kicked a penalty to go 6 up with a couple of mins to half time. From the Sarries kick off, an idiotic block, then throw the ball away so penalised another 10m. Sarries kick to the corner and score from the line out
I just don't get Scottish ill discipline. We see it year after year (esp at intl level). It's like it's institutionalised stupidity.

Difficult to argue with that. I think there is a mental thing that the players don’t really believe they are really good enough to compete with the top sides, but they are and need to get over it

Pisspreys probably blew their best chance of a win in this years HEC.
