Staunton’s late, late penalty saves Munster

Munster 22 Celtic Warriors 21

Without the core of their squad through injury and international duty, the home side last night clung on to defeat the amalgamation of Pontypridd and Bridgend, while maintaining hopes of retaining their Celtic League crown.

In the end, Munster had to rely on a late, late penalty goal from Jeremy Staunton, who had been their saviour on many occasions last evening.
