Rowntree says beautiful Munster attack was 'tainted' by struggling maul defence

Graham Rowntree before the United Rugby Championship match between Munster and Glasgow Warriors.

Munster head coach Graham Rowntree hailed Munster’s “beautiful” attacking play in a 40-29 victory over Glasgow Warriors but says it was “tainted” by a struggling maul defence.

The men in red had the bonus point secured by half-time but leaked five pushover tries, four in the second half, against the URC leaders’ potent pack.
