Rassie Erasmus ponders ‘average’ home win
Such was how head coach Rassie Erasmus succinctly summed up Munster’s Guinness Pro12 League victory over Edinburgh as he tried hard to conceal his frustration at a game that lasted for an incredibly long and tedious 2 hours and 10 minutes as the injury toll mounted on both sides and degenerated into something of a fiasco as uncontested scrums became the order of the day.
Just about the only worthwhile talking point from the game was the nasty injury sustained in the 19th minute by Munster flanker Jack O’Donoghue, the victim of a very reckless head/shoulder charge at a loose ruck by the visitor’s second-row Frazer McKenzie. The Scot escaped with a yellow card.
