We never gave up the cause, says Les Kiss

“Even if we had lost tonight, I would have been so proud of the boys, because we never gave up the cause against a very good Ulster side.

“All credit to Rory Scannell for going for that drop goal, not just waiting for things to happen, but making it happen.”

Munster Director of Rugby Rassie Erasmus was clearly delighted by the his players’ refusal to hide after conceding what he called “two very soft tries early on”, and he attributed much of the re-energised effort of the late second to the contribution of the replacements.
