It's just a blip, something we can fix, says Rassie Erasmus

Leicester Tigers 18 Munster 16: Not so much a setback as a pause by the roadside, a little air leaked out of Munster’s tyres in Leicester, but as far as Rassie Erasmus is concerned the problem is easily remedied.

It's just a blip, something we can fix, says Rassie Erasmus

The province’s seven-game winning run came to an end on Saturday as the Tigers gained revenge for their Champions Cup humiliation of the previous week at Thomond Park, albeit with a last-minute long-range penalty from Owen Williams to get them over the line.

As both Erasmus and opposing director of rugby Richard Cockerill suggested in the aftermath of what was a good old-fashioned ding-dong of a contest, a successful 50-plus metre kick does not cure Leicester’s ills any more than a miss would have done the same for a victorious Munster.
