Penney thrilled by Munster showing

Munster head coach Rob Penney was proud of his side overcoming the “psychological stress” of their shock opening defeat to Edinburgh to beat Gloucester 26-10 in the Heineken Cup Pool Six tie at Thomond Park yesterday evening.

Munster got their campaign back on track with a hard-earned victory over their much-changed English opponents. Tries from Damien Varley and Johne Murphy, together with 16 points from the boot of Ian Keatley, guided the province home.
