Unconvincing Munster just do enough

MUNSTER'S remarkable Thomond Park Heineken Cup record remains intact but for how long more?

With twelve minutes to play against the Newport Gwent Dragons on Saturday night, it looked very vulnerable indeed as the visiting side ran in a magnificent converted try to move into an 18-17 lead.

From the restart and for some reason known only to its owner, a Welsh hand played the ball on their put-in at a scrum thirty five metres out and Ronan O'Gara admirably held his nerve to slot the resulting penalty over.
