Munster's Pro12 play-off hopes fade

Glasgow Warriors 27 Munster 24: Munster’s chances of reaching the Guinness Pro12 play-offs this season became slimmer after defeat to the defending champions Glasgow Warriors at Rugby Park in Kilmarnock last night.

The visitors were never able to fullly match the pace of Glasgow game, the Scots aided by the artificial surface at their substitute ground, but arguably it was two secondhalf yellow cards that cost Munster the game.

In defeat, Munster can reflect nevertheless on an eye-catching display from their young academy centre Rory Scannell, and impressive performances from the likes of Billy Holland and double try scorer Dave Kilcoyne at the other end of the experience spectrum.
