Munster 25 not out at Thomond

Munster 41 Bourgoin 23

ON their way to a 25th Thomond Park Heineken Cup triumph, just a couple of days before the anniversary of that famous win over the All Blacks, Munster showed glimpses of absolute brilliance.

Their display was highlighted by six smashing tries; scores taken with a combination of brute force and stunning running skills; the downside was that they also conceded 23 points at home to a French side reeling from the defeat at home to Cardiff a week before.
