Munster young guns turn on the power
Thomond Park was awash with red at the end of an excellent game that produced excitement and high drama as well, of course, as an unlikely victory against a near full strength Northampton. Munster’s young guns in this experimental side reacted positively to the promptings from a crowd of over 5,000, and left Northampton beaten for the second successive time in their pre-season programme.
For spells, it looked like Northampton’s New Zealand internationals, Bruce Reihana, Mark Robinson and Carlos Spencer would hold the key to victory. Indeed Spencer nearly did it for them when he manufactured a superb try 12 minutes from the end.
