Graham Rowntree rued Munster’s lack of physicality in the first-half of their 38-26 defeat at home to Glasgow on Saturday as his side blew their chance of moving into the top four of the BKT URC standings.

The Thomond Park defeat, which saw the visitors consolidate their grip on fourth place on a night when Munster could have leapfrogged them into that all-important final spot for a home quarter-final draw in May, means Rowntree’s men trail the Scottish side by six points with two rounds of the league’s regular season remaining.
