Reds’ away day blues continue

MUNSTER’S worsening away form threatens to scupper their hopes of defending the Magners League title following this latest defeat.

There are few occasions when a team so dominant in the scrum as to win a penalty try still end up losing. Yet that is exactly what Munster managed at Rodney Parade.

The Celtic champions capitulated to a Newport Gwent Dragons team that was over-powered in the scrum and out-thought in the lineout yet still possessed the hunger and will to win this match with room to spare.
