Another Munster miracle

SIX years ago Munster beat a hasty retreat from the Stade Aime Giral, battered, bruised and all but eliminated from the Heineken Cup.

A week later they produced their miracle match against the might of Gloucester at Thomond Park. We all know what happened after that.

On this occasion the miracle happened before our eyes in a stadium where away wins are as rare snow showers in the Sahara. Secretly Munster craved a bonus point of any kind, even one in defeat, prior to kick-off. To achieve that by scoring a fourth try invictory at the death speaks volumes for this team.
