So we can see the glass 5% full
Farrell and TOH didn't sink with the boat

Or 95% empty

1) Conceeded 50, more than 80 within 2 games, at home and away against a mostly A team
2) We continue to avoid tackling.
3) we don't win any collisionn even Roux stayed on the pitch after facing Conway. Browne is stepping back constantly
4) Carey and Delahunt, ok for setpieces, are sooo slow in open-play, just like they haven't played a game for 5 months or more. Oh wait, that's the case
5) As usual Boshoff plays 2 minutes and goes back to the nursery (on a late no-arm tackle BTW, no try in theory)
6) Dawai, arrived in December, still doesn't understand why there's absolutely nobody near when he tries to offload or protect a ruck
7) We've been SCHOOLED. Simple as that.

The less said about that match the better. Next season can't come quick enough.

He's your stereotypical Dublin posh boy prat but that doesn't put him at nearly the same level as Williams.

3 minutes then this shite is over.

Slightly better second half but that's not saying much.

Nice try. Carty is getting good at cross field kicks.

The only positive I suppose is that the season is almost over. Next season will be much better, I'm convinced of it.

We are a joke and a rabble. Shame on the 15 out there, and shame on the coaching staff for letting this transpire. Awful shit to be humiliated in Limerick.

Really awful stuff and plenty of ammunition to come off the Munster bench yet. Only positives I can pick are lineout has been solid if mainly uncontested and scrum is solid but pretty much everything else is copy and paste from most this season. Everyone knows the game Munster are going to play yet we're playing the game exactly as they want it playing, shovelling the ball along with no purpose, losing huge ground and giving them soft targets to hit all over the field as well as the usual thing of players getting isolated all over the pitch as we've seen all season.

Defensively we are awful. The first try was a bog standard move that shouldn't cause trouble to a junior team let alone a team at this level. Really Munster should have got at least the bonus point already. Cutting us open so easily.

The final insult was letting Jack O'Donoghue come through the maul at the end.

Connacht just look like a team where morale and togetherness is very low. The game we're trying to play requires a team who can play at fast pace and with confidence. This sort of game played with low confidence and with carelessness is a recipe for disaster.

Appalling dirge. Many of the players simply have no business wearing the jersey with performances like that. I see no point in bringing in or keeping some of these players they simply will never be up to scratch. HUGE improvements needed to be ready for next year if they are to mend this damage and other teams will be even stronger again. They seem to have made a total mess of everything resting on their laurels and wasted all the momentum and are seriously damaging the respect they gained from becoming champions. Serious complete disaster

Wow, stick a fork in us, we're done for!! Someone switch off the lights on the way out :(

How far we have fallen from our golden moments last year.

No adequate replacement of the players who left at the end of last year , Pat Lam's announcement , repeated savage injury lists, no sign of new signings , new stadium plans (where are they?) , other teams investing & passing us out etc etc etc etc - take your pick.

Close this season off FAST!!! :(

A lot of younger less experienced players in that Munster team. Hope we can make a mark. Strangely I'd be travelling with more hope than same fixture last year!

I'm expecting a big game from jack carty tomorrow, probably needed the rest of a few games after a tough season. Munster will do their predictable forwards grunt but I think we can just about match them and hurt them out wide.

I think Ultan and Niyi in particular are big losses too, Poolman and Roux will put in decent performances but that bit of a spark that we might need will be less likely. I think the lads will pull something from somewhere, just whether it's enough I don't know, If it's Gloucester, who I think will beat Stade, they might have a hangover of sorts after winning a trophy; either way even though champions cup is the obvious aim, I reckon a rebuilding season with a chance of going far or even winning the Challenge cup might not be the end of the world for us, a lot of people cite Champions Cup as a reason for many injuries that derailed the middle of our season (although I don't fully agree with that as last season we put out a team sheet of only 22 against Newcastle and had lots of injuries through that middle section we just pulled out a couple of big performances), and it may not be the best place for a team finding their feet under a new coach, then again it might provide the spark to unite everyone under Keane, a la Tolouse 2013
