Penney: We identified weaknesses

Munster coach Rob Penney has revealed how the stirring win over Toulouse was achieved by a combination of in-depth planning and near perfect on-field execution.

Penney admitted the Munster backroom staff felt they had identified weaknesses in the Toulouse defensive system but still had to rely on the players to execute the plan of assault.

“Teams don’t normally have the ability to change their defensive structures in game,” he said. “The pictures we were seeing on a really consistent basis were exactly what we thought we would see and we primed the players all week there would be opportunities.
