Donal Lenihan: The real Munster quandary — where was this fight the week before?

All too often, Munster fail to play to the maximum of their ability on the days that really matter

We’ve been down this road before. Many times. Munster, with their backs to the wall, where else, in search of some form of redemption.

Why does it always have to come to this?
