1. Hold on, wasn’t this supposed to be Munster’s best chance yet?

It was. The pundits thought so, and Munster’s season to date gave supporters a reason to believe. A more expansive approach under the guidance of senior coach Stephen Larkham, a set-piece rejuvenated by forwards coach Graham Rowntree and head coach Johann van Graan’s trust in a new generation of academy players and younger professionals in the senior squad had seen Munster top Conference B by 19 points and advance to the Heineken Champions Cup knockout stages.
