Ravenhill rout for Munster's young guns

Ulster 3 Munster 24

The fact that it was a poor match won't worry Munster, a team shorn of their Heineken Cup warriors for this Celtic League clash. The fact that they won so handsomely is both an indication of the talent available to coach Alan Gaffney and the lack of it to counterpart Mark McCall.

Sure, there was the mandatory rendition of "Stand Up and Fight" as Munster's young guns savoured a rare moment of joy in this intimidating arena but there was also a tinge of sympathy for Ulster, who took another blow in a run of sorry defeats.
