If Munster was the best they would have 4 stars on their shirt like Stade Toulousain. Let's say Munster is one of the best, and Biarritz is usually not far behind, but this time B.O. was in front.

@BonuxCouleur I watched that whole game - Munster had Biarritz all over the place for the first half. Biarritz only went down the middle - and went no where - they ended up getting penalties and got back into the game that way.

If Munster were as clinical as they usually are in the HC - they could of put - or should of put, a lot more points on Biarritz than they did here.

@dadubs93 Biarritz played the Munster way, it's good to see Munster losing that way...a bit of revenge.

[dadubs93]

@FrenchFlair15 Haha suppose - On a side note - Clermont were beaten by Leinster the Clermont way with teh Scrums. Its always good to see a dominant team get toppled - Even if it is Munster.

@dadubs93 I couldnt watch the leinster vs clermont game but since Nigel Owens was reffing i can't help but feel like the two sides weren't reffed equally and that Clermont was disadvantaged...Nonetheless Leinster seems very powerful and are a team enjoyable to watch so I dont mind them reaching the playoffs

[dadubs93]

@FrenchFlair15 Haha you know your rugby - Owens disallowed a clear Leinster try because he didnt want to use the match official.

The same thing happened to Clermont that game as well, no try allowed because he didnt use the TV official.

I still like to think of Owens as one of the top refs because of how he deals with players. The same cant be said for how he deals with other aspects on the pitch.

[FrenchFlair15]

@dadubs93 I don't like him. He's had a past of favouring teams in important games that bothers me. Munster for example. But you know a huge part of the game is the ref and he is human so it is up to the players to adapt rather than to whine about what could have been if the ref had been better.

This video is weird, it hardly shows anything of what Biarritz Olympique did to win the game.

@fuloedraogo you're wrong. Biarritz won because they were better on this game. They played with more heart and simply wanted it more. You couldn't call this a tragedy. But you could instead think of it as a heroic game in which the underdogs Biarritz gave their hearts out to win, lead by Harinordoquy's bravery

@FrenchFlair15 Biarritiz certain didnt want it more when munster scored their try ...Most of their player were jogging back!!

@crokepk88 If Biarritz didn't want it more they would have lost
