Trying to get continuity is a juggling act

CRISIS? What crisis.

That was the message from the Munster dressing-room in Galway on Monday night after their hard earned and slightly controversial victory over luckless Connacht sent them seven points clear at the top of the Magners League.

Even though it was an extremely poor game that Munster were more than a little lucky to win, the result was badly needed after the defeat by Ospreys in the Heineken Cup followed by the unfortunate happenings during the Christmas party and Paul O’Connell’s failed appeal against his four-week European Rugby Cup ban.
