WATCH: Jerry Flannery is absolutely fuming at Glasgow’s callous targeting of Conor Murray

And he's not the only one

Sean McMahon

It is has been a feisty affair at Scotstoun.

Munster and Glasgow Warriors are giving it absolutely everything in their Champions Cup encounter.

A brace of penalties from Tyler Bleyendaal and a kick at goal each from Finn Russell and Stuart Hogg meant the side entered the half-time break at 6-6.

It has been an incredibly physical and confrontational affair which was to be expected and a number of feisty skirmishes from both sets of players have taken place. One of the major talking points from the first half was the apparent illegal targeting of Munster’s Conor Murray.

Jerry Flannery was interviewed during the first half where he aired his grievances about the tackles which Murray has been on the receiving end of:

“We warned ref about Murray being scythed at ankles pre game. Hopefully we don’t get our nine injured.”

There has been a few examples of this throughout the first half but one of the most obvious ones you can see below.

Viewers were went to Twitter to air their grievances with the treatment Murray was receiving. 

Some viewers weren’t so sympathetic.

What do you make of Murray’s treatment?
