Rugby: Next leg Munster’s acid test

Munster 51 Treviso 0

Benetton Treviso came to Thomond Park on Saturday, in the words of their Kiwi coach Craig Green, "not to be beaten" but after a 51-0, eight-try mauling, the Italians have gained a new respect for Munster.

But nobody is getting carried away. Alan Gaffney was understandably pleased and accepted it was the best they could do on such a miserable evening.
