Munster must do more than just stand up and fight

Well, is this what they had in mind when they talked about a return to old values?

When Munster rugby decided not to extend the contract of a coach who was about to reach a second consecutive European Cup semi-final, and then replaced him with a coaching ticket made up of their own, the organisation was saying something about itself as well as Rob Penney.

Losing European Cup semi-finals in the south of France by a single score didn’t cut it, wasn’t good enough. Playing a more expansive game wasn’t the Munster way. Penney didn’t get Munster whereas Anthony Foley and the rest of his coaching ticket did.
