Stunning comeback papers over cracks in McGahan’s squad

MUNSTER are not a great team.

Only time will tell if they are even a good team. But Saturday night at Thomond Park proved beyond doubt that this squad still burns with the sense of pride and commitment that has won them many a battle in the past and will continue to do so long into the future.

They were fortunate to escape with four points against Northampton Saints given that they needed to rely on a superb long-range Ronan O’Gara drop goal in the fourth minute of stoppage time to scrape to victory (23-21).
