JJ so cool as Munster dig it out

Munster 22 Connacht 16

The westerners travelled south to Limerick with high hopes of recording only a second win in 32 league meetings with their interprovincial neighbours.

Yet on a night of persistent downpours, frayed tempers and inevitably sloppy handling, Hanrahan produced a faultless kicking display with five penalties and the conversion of his own try, before Connacht snatched a late try and with its conversion from Dan Parks a losing bonus point with the last kick of the game.
