Jaco Taute proud of Munster’s passion play

There were so many memorable moments during Saturday’s game at Thomond Park that it would be easy to overlook Jaco Taute’s try and the ecstatic manner in which he showed how much it meant to him, clutching the Munster logo on his jersey and exultantly saluting the crowd.

The former Springbok was only six weeks in the province but had already realised the fantastic opportunity opening up before him. He scored Munster’s second try against Leinster and then came the beauty against Glasgow that ensured him a special place in the hearts of the Red Army.

“I only knew Axel for about a month-and-a-half but from the first moment I had any interaction with him, I could sense the pride and the passion he had for this place and for this community,” said Taute.
