Munster forced to scrap for win
If Declan Kidney’s final-whistle reaction at Musgrave Park on Saturday night was a reliable barometer, this was up there with some of the more satisfying Munster victories this season.
Kidney’s charges held out to secure four Celtic League points that keeps them in pole position ahead of Leinster. Pity poor Dragons though - their only consolation for a huge effort was a bonus point, their luck clearly out when referee Malcolm Changleng declined to award them what appeared to be a legitimate second half try.
