Deasy does it as Munster shake off errors and Ulster

On a night when injuries and handling errors threatened to overshadow a promising display, Munster appear to have found another youngster with the potential to make a long-term impact.

Called into this RaboDirect Pro12 encounter with Ulster at Thomond Park on Saturday at short notice, Scott Deasy produced enough in the No 10 jersey to indicate he has become much more than a useful utility player.

Little wonder then he should smile at the end of a contest that yielded Munster a bonus-point victory over the team that knocked them out of the Heineken Cup. The win allowed Munster to steer clear of a semi-final clash with Leinster and they now head to Wales to take on Ospreys.
