Munster bring their A game

Good Friday was upgraded to a great one as far as Munster rugby fans were concerned after the province’s A team fought their way to an extra-time victory over old enemy Leinster in this epic B&I Cup semi-final last night.

Leinster had named an experienced and potent team but the visitors made it quite obvious from early on that they hadn’t come to Dublin to have their bellies tickled.

They threw themselves into every tackle with ferocity, and when they were in possession there was great energy and execution to what they were trying to do.
