Rassie Erasmus: ‘What we gained last week, we lost tonight’

Like all other top coaches, Rassie Erasmus knows that to win trophies you’ve got to win your home matches.

Having picked up points on the road against Llanelli Scarlets last week, Munster found out just what it feels to be on the wrong side of a score line at home at Musgrave Park last night.

The one-point defeat against a much improved Cardiff Blues outfit was a disappointment to say the least, especially given that they fell to a sucker-punch third try that could have been avoided.
