Goggin not too worried about Munster try drought

For all the positive reviews of Munster’s adventurous attacking innovations under new senior coach Stephen Larkham, the lack of tries in December has underlined the reality that the province’s brave new world remains very much a work in progress.

Three tries in five games, all scored by forwards, does not reflect the scoring opportunities created and was an understandable source of frustration for head coach Johann van Graan last Saturday night after watching his side draw a blank in the 13-6 defeat by Leinster at Thomond Park.
