Munster V All Blacks

[playerone]

Wow. Just watched the last 30 mins.

First team apart from South Africa Ive seen play the right way against the AB's. Slow the ruck ball down, pressure the inside backs and keep the ball in hand.

Well done Munster. Have done more than most international sides have in the last few years!

And Munster weren't even at full strength!
Fantastic performance....

Yeah what a fabulous game of rugby, thought the ref was a bit one-eyed towards the Kiwis as well, they were getting away with a lot around the fringes.

This thread is nothing without a mention to the pre-game Haka.

As a munster man watching this at home it got my heart pounding so hard I stood up to watch it. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Absolutely immense. I can only imagine the emotion running through Thomand Park.

Lastnight watching that game on tv is a sporting occasion that will live long in my mind.

Thanks so much for posting that link - I forgot the game was on and only switched on with the red button about half way through the first half. Top stuff!

Listening to some of the interviews afterwards I think it had been mentioned that they were going to step out and do their own alright, but I really don;t know! The rumors were circulating but noone knew for sure! Rua Tipoki led them in a version of a Maori Haka (I think... not too sure on my Hakas!)

The noise was deafening when the Munster boys preformed their Haka, and the silence was deafening when the Kiwis began theirs. Epic stuff. I suppose a loss is a loss ultimately, but another legendary chapter written in Munster rugby folklore!

That clip is brilliant, I could feel the energy rising as I watched it. I bet it would be even better with the sound on!
Anyone know if I can watch the whole game online anywhere?

It's a shame the international teams don't play more clubs when they go "on tour" nowadays. This game just goes to show that they'd give them more of a run for their money than the national sides!

Awesome atmosphere but i have found one version of the Haka which is even more intense.....
