@SouthernMann bench did well ..loving the look of Holland
I think if Holland is injury free next Super season, he should leap frog all the other All Black locks to partner captain Barrett.

It was good that this match was an arm wrestle as the players will learn more.
I haven't read the comments yet, but the officiating was poor. A couple more Day-mon specials that wiped out the Kirifi try (the Munster hooker kicked the ball in that ruck), and a obvious double movement on the knees in the last Munster try.
Love didn't have the impact he would have hoped for.

Munster played well given the issues they have had at their club but I will say the best thing about the win from NZXV piece was Peter Mahoney loses to a team in Black again

I will always be a fan of shooter especially his attack and kicking game but to be honest his tackling just ain’t up to this level .
sorry who is Shooter?

@nostrildamus Shaun Stevenson
thanks. Frustratingly talented player if only he could improve tackling and discipline (as in consistency and mindset). I just don't think, sadly, he will. Otherwise he'd be an AB.

@nostrildamus has all the tools to play international rugby but tackling is a non negotiable when your the last line of defence
All Blacks in the past have managed to hide the odd first five in defence but your fullback has to be courageous when it comes to defence
Staggered league were looking at him -

The Sky TV coverage was lost until kickoff, presumably due to a problem with the local satellite feed. I never saw the players run out or the haka. Maybe the replay has the full pre-match..
It starts with Munster doing the huddle at (presumably) the completion of the haka and then straight into the match.

In the highlights at least, AJ Lam looked good at center.
As did Plummer and the space being given to those outside him (even Christie looked to be moving the ball really well), but supposedly Plummer was average. Go figure.
