Munster hopes fizzle out after more Wales woe

BRIAN CARNEY gave another glimpse of his rugby union promise with a second try-scoring appearance though it was too late to save Munster’s season from freefall.

The rugby league convert showed composure to collect Ronan O’Gara’s cross-field kick before out-pacing Justin Marshall to score Munster’s second try and at least salvage some pride on the scoreboard in the final minute of this game.

Along with the return of Anthony Foley and Anthony Horgan from long-term injury, it was the only positive aspect of a thoroughly disappointing game for Munster.
