Munster rise to the occasion on emotional return

Rassie Erasmus admitted late on Saturday that it was, more than anything, a relief to get a “tough week” over and done with but he could never have imagined it ending so comfortably.

Munster have been coping with Anthony Foley’s death since their last trip to Paris, in October, but this latest visit was always going to bring with it greater external focus and pressure to pay fitting tribute on the field of play.

They certainly did that.
