A summer of soul (and coach) searching begins for Munster rugby
When Scottish referee Mike Adamson blew the final whistle at the RDS last Saturday, it not only signalled the end of a somewhat underwhelming Guinness PRO14 semi-final, but also brought another Munster season to a conclusion.
It’s now eight years since Paul O’Connell held the Celtic League trophy aloft after a 19-9 win over newly-crowned Heineken Cup champions Leinster. Despite contesting numerous semi-finals on the domestic and European front, along with a disappointing 31-13 PRO12 final defeat to Glasgow Warriors in Belfast in 2015, Munster’s quest for silverware continues on both fronts.
