Wallace: penalty madness played into Wilko’s hands

FRANCE has held so many great days for Munster over the course of the Heineken Cup that it seemed almost impossible it could come to this on a beautiful winter’s afternoon in the south of the country.

David Wallace certainly didn’t hide his disappointment as he summed up the atmosphere in the dressing room afterwards.

“Very sombre, very quiet,” he said. “Obviously there’s huge disappointment. We’ve a lot of history in this competition and we’re not used to going out at this stage, certainly in the last number of years. We’re very disappointed.”
