Munster set the pulses racing

Watching Munster on Saturday was both frustrating and exciting. The excitement came in a performance that gave glimpses of the talent and potential that lies in a squad loving life and enjoying its work under the province’s new coaching ticket.

What frustrated was that against a top-quality Racing side, Munster needed, and will need in the coming weeks of this Heineken Champions Cup pool of death campaign, more than mere glimpses of that promise.
