Munster prove unstoppable

Munster 33 Connacht 3

For an hour, Steph Nel's men gave as good as they got before Munster's greater strength up front, where young tigers like Paul O'Connell and Donnacha O'Callaghan were outstanding and with the more seasoned Anthony Foley and man of the match Alan Quinlan nothing short of devastating, told in the closing stages.

Will-o'-wisp Mike Mullins in the centre teased and tormented the gallant Connacht defence all night and it was only fitting that he should grab a try at the finish.
