Munster’s Mr Versatile laments try that wasn’t

MUNSTER’S Johne Murphy won’t agonise for long over the try that wasn’t in the first half of Saturday’s thundering Heineken Cup victory over Toulon at Thomond Park.

But Murphy still argues it was legitimate and that, had Wayne Barnes allowed it to stand, it might well have been a contender for the try of the season given the spectacular roles played by Paul Warwick and Doug Howlett in a sensational build up.

However, Murphy took the blow philosophically. “Disappointing, but at least we scored others and won the game. Hopefully, we’ll have a lot more to come in this competition.”
