Munster 13 Newcastle 10

Afterwards, team colleague Paul O’Connell hailed the magnificent score and declared: “the best could be yet to come from him. I wasn’t in the least bit surprised to see him score a try of that quality. He is a great player, lots of skill and lots of power.”

O’Connell saw the outcome of this game as a major boost for the forthcoming Celtic League. “It was a great win against a much more experienced side.” And Jim Williams said: “Goodness, that last 20 minutes puts pressure on all of us older guys.”
