More mighty Munster magic slays Dragons

Munster 45 Newport Gwent Dragons 17: Without a full deck, this was a very impressive Munster performance in last night’s Guinness PRO12 clash with Newport Gwent Dragons at Musgrave Park. The bonus point was in the bag at half time and it was enough to maintain their position at the top of the table.

Munster’s coaching director Rassie Erasmus had every reason to feel pleased as his side scored four tries in the opening half. He watched an aggressive display from his forward pack and a good deal of quality mix and match play to keep his side on the front foot for much of game.

“We’ll take this, it was impressive; we played well and did enough to secure a very important win,” said Erasmus.
