Expansive becomes expensive for Munster

TOO much rugby.

It is not often you hear those sorts of com-plaints after a rollicking good rugby match and even rarer when the charge is levelled at Munster.

Yet the frustration was evident after an opening Heineken Cup defeat to English Premiership leaders London Irish at the Madejski Stadium, the concerns eased only by a late try from Sam Tuitupou that earned Munster a deserved losing bonus point that could well make a difference come January.
