Gavin Coombes has dismissed the doomsday scenarios that have followed Munster’s URC home defeat to the Bulls by insisting the province are still gunning for the title.

Last Saturday’s 16-13 loss at Thomond Park has left Munster in seventh place with three games of the regular season remaining with this Friday’s trip to fellow play-off contenders Cardiff now firmly in must-win territory.
