League bid goes up in smoke as Munster fail to slay Dragons

Newport Gwent Dragons 23 Munster 17

Munster were out of sorts, troubled up front and desperately lacking focus behind the scrum. The display does not auger well for their forthcoming Heineken Cup clash against arch-rivals Leinster.

Exacting revenge for three consecutive defeats this season, the Dragons won more convincingly than the score line suggests and could have added at least two more tries.
