Munster self-belief again evident after late win over Cardiff

Cardiff Blues 13 - Munster 23: This was Munster at their resolute best as they hit Cardiff Blues with a late sucker punch in the Welsh capital.

As they had done against the Ospreys in Swansea last month, Rassie Erasmus’ side produced a last-gasp show to seal victory and if aspects of their performance could have been criticised, this result showed once again that you can’t fault the character of the men in red.

Rory Scannell’s drop goal and his conversion of a Conor Oliver try meant Munster scored 10 points in the final four minutes as they overturned a 13-13 scoreline to emerge with the win. It was the perfect way to bounce back from the surprising defeat to Scarlets on home turf last weekend.
