A long way back to the top for Munster

As if things weren’t bad enough, Saracens finished on a high with their third try of the day accompanied by that despicable Chris Ashton swan dive.

It was the ultimate insult on a day when Munster’s limitations were exposed to the full.

For the Munster faithful there will be no need for calculators, no talk of points differential or number of tries required heading into round six of the Champions Cup next weekend.
