Poor first half hour - then a golden 20 mins, and then control at the end to see out a BP win 29-26
Great result beating Munster, I can't believe it's been so long! Bit worrying they rely on pens so much though.
The ‘key’ difference was a ref who actually ‘reffed’ Munster.
They were moaning and groaning, appealing for this, appealing for that …. Yet the ref just smiled and ignored them.
Great to see them panic towards the end and make errors - they even tried to take the penalty kick closer to the sticks, but the ref told them to take it back to the correct position …
Shame they missed and failed to get a losing bonus point …. NOT

That was quite amusing, I can't recall the last time I saw Munster look panicked, total loss of composure. And with all their internationals
Nice to see the Ospreys going in the right direction.

I was there that day - outstanding performance by the Neath 14
Great to see European Profiles on the Neath jerseys

Well, it’s only 68 yrs since we beat them ….
Ken Owens has failed a fitness test.
So Ryan Elias starts at hooker, with Cardiff Rugby's Kirby Myhill being promoted to the bench.

I'm actually dreading this! A full house will be wonderful and a great atmosphere, well to start with anyway... Hope I'm wrong.
Very poor start with the gifted interception and then a disgusting decision by the ref not to yellow Barrett for the tap down.
Refs are in awe of the ABs - had we committed the tap down, there’s no doubt whatsoever that we’d have seen yellow
That was actually two red cards on the tackle on Moriarty!
The French ref shat himself and knew he had to talk himself out of a red - despite the young tough judge doing his best.
It reminds me of us playing the big boys in the PL - refs always used one set of rules for us and one for them …

Such a shame we're missing so many players, this could have been very close.
You know what, I'd also rather be playing the likes of Tonga and not NZ and SA on consecutive weekends as that would be better for confidence and better for the morale of supporters like me!
