Lions V Munster URC 2026

One thing is for sure, Rassie won't be happy with what he has been seeing from Crappie

If Krappies doesn't kick it away, Smith will.

And now Smith chips possession away and lets Munster off the hook.

I'm not sure why they are deciding to kick in these positions.

Krappies looks much better when he plays ball. Another kak kick by Smith this time FFS. Get some patience and build instead of just booting it after 3 phases you idiots.

Temu 12 breaks the line...another yellow coming

Ref checking something here . . . looks like another deliberate knock on. Another yellow coming for Munster.

Another yellow coming for Munster?

That's a try if he doesn't knock it

That's blatant, don't even deliberate about it.

If the Lions don't cash in here they deserve to lose.

Cynical bullshit from Munster, twice when the Lions had an overlap.

Commentator "Kriel does the damage in the middles, doesn't he? Running really hard."

Haha your maargat impressing the Irish, Paks

Let's maul it when they're two backs down. Brilliant.

Lions fluff it and now it's handbags.

Haha your maargat impressing the Irish, Paks

He's Prendergast on steak en eiers, pappie.

Craig Casey has what we used to call a "moer-my-gesig" in my army days.

The Munster 9 looks like a proper little shit. Haha love it!

The Lions IQ has dropped to room temperature the last two games.

Ja the mullet adds to the fun.

He's Prendergast on steak en eiers, pappie.

Pretender is the the new Owen FagGril

Now Mpeku kicks it away.

Finally the Lions keep the ball in hand and Mpeku jogs in for an easy try.

Yes, they finally manage to exploit the numbers OUT WIDE.

Suck on that you cynical Irish twats. Let's hope they get another before the yellows run out.

Lekker Leeus...

Did you see that take, and jink as he landed, by Francke

Oh Captain! My Captain.

Indeed, commentator. Why would the Lions kick it away.

Now 13 men are hammering the Lions. Because let's just kick the ball to them.

Commentators rightly asking why Crappie kicked that away.

Keep the ball when you are two men up

The 13 men are applying all the pressure and there could be a yellow for the Lions after the advantage. No . . . but they'll need to improve their defending. Too many first time tackles being missed.

Munster back to 14.

And Munster score. Just keep kicking it boys, it's working really well.

Casey scores. Of all people.

What was Kriel doing waving at the ref instead of tackling?

Munster score and take a lead into the half.

Really stupid to give them ball when you are two men up.

That's braindead rugby

That's the half and Munster lead 17-14.

Very disappointing by the Lions considering Munster were down to 13 men for so long.

17-14 Munster HT. Not sure the Lions have got this. Their defense look flaky, which means they'll need to put more points on the board, but they kick away too much possession and give the opposition too much opportunity to stretch their flaky defense.

Again, why can an idiot like me see that but the boys earning the big bucks can't?

I honestly wonder if it's all Crappies or if he's playing under instruction.

...those kicks have blown scoring opportunities and resulted in points against the Lions

If you have the Bok defense, you can kick the ball back to the opposition and then tackle the hell out of them until they make a mistake. If you have the Bok set piece, you can do that.

If you're the Lions, a team stuffed with journeymen, a kak lineout and dodgy defense, you keep the stupid ball and play the game that got you this far.

It's another game where you realise how vital Venter is. When he was on his ban the Lions really struggled, as soon as he came back they started winning.

Now he's injured and they were poor last week and again shaky this week.

The point being, that level of influence by Venter will be massively valuable to the Boks. Particularly when combined with the likes of Jasper, Hanekom, Marx...

Yes, they do seem to be missing Ru-anne.

FYI...Venter wont play again this season. He'll likely miss the start of the URC season too.

Fucking sucks
