Munster go from passion play to kitchen sink drama

From passion play to kitchen sink drama, Munster are beginning to show they can turn their hand to any script.

Six days on from their thrilling, emotionally-charged European victory over Glasgow Warriors at Thomond Park, Rassie Erasmus’s men turned back to domestic matters and switched characters to grind out a gritty, power-packed win in Belfast.

That they did it against Guinness Pro12 leaders Ulster would have been kudos enough for director of rugby Erasmus but for Munster to have backed up their wonderful, sorrow-filled Champions Cup performance, just 24 hours after their head coach Anthony Foley was laid to rest, with such a dogged display on the road against interprovincial rivals added another level of accomplishment to the remarkable story of these past two weeks.
