Munster have vital targets to hit

Munster 26 Newport Gwent Dragons 5: Two salient points emerged from Saturday night’s Guinness Pro 12 game at Thomond Park.

Of primary importance was Munster’s 26-5 bonus point win that moved them up to 5th in the table and creeping ever closer to the knock-out stages.

The second, however, is that fewer than 6,000 people were at the Limerick venue which means that around 7,000 season ticket holders stayed home at the weekend.
