Hanrahan the fall guy for Munster

Glasgow Warriors 21 Munster 18

Hanrahan, operating at out-half and the subject of a possible move to Northampton Saints, crowned a solid opening half display when Munster worked extremely hard to make yards with his first try of the season but was guilty of missing two penalties in the second half which turned out to be decisive as they fell to a third defeat in a row.

The net result is that Munster will go into Friday’s showdown with Leinster bidding to prevent equalling their worst run of defeats ever in the professional era.
