Munster U21s finish with a flourish

Munster 31 Connacht 7

You had to feel sorry for Connacht. For some reason, they were playing their fourth match out of five away from home and yet they must still be kicking themselves for ending up at the wrong end of such a scoreline. They looked a well balanced outfit for the most part as Bart Fannin’s coaching methods paid off and Munster were kept at full stretch for much of the opening half.

That said, it was a fine match for the first hour or so as both sides attacked at will and the newly appointed Ireland under-21 coach Michael Bradley must have been reasonably pleased with what he saw.
