Here's a short commentary on Munster's scrum try against Edinburgh in the @URCOfficial at the weekend. Munster are doing a lot of the little things right at the moment to win games and this try is a good illustration of that. #EDIvMUN #URC #URCGO #RugbyAnalysis

This Richie Gray pass is a coach's dream. • 74 minutes in • big hands out towards the ball • catches it early to pass it early • swings through the hips to generate momentum • doesn't overcomplicate it with a spin • hands towards the target at point of release #ENGvSCO

Seeing a few replies targeting Irish players who qualified under the 3-year-rule this morning. 1. That's not cool. 2. Blame the (now dead) rule if you want, not the player. 2. It rains in Galway 300 days a year, think Bundee has more than earned his Irish passport over 9 years😄
