A look at some of Shane Daly's best moments for Munster this season:
After enduring some rough moments across the former Leicester prop’s first campaign in charge, the province’s late-season drive to Saturday’s URC final in Cape Town has been delivered by a matchday 23 which has shown few changes week-on-week.
Daly – who debuted for the province in 2018 – often missed out on the Munster matchday 23 last season despite feeling he was playing good rugby as former head coach Johann Van Graan favoured a 6/2 split on the bench. As well as showcasing a huge workrate across the season, Daly is also an excellent finisher – as evidenced in the try he scored against the Stormers when the sides met last month in Cape Town.Taking possession after Munster move the ball coast-to-coast from a lineout, Daly has a lot to do but produces a great finish in the corner.
His first try in the same game was a simple run-in in the corner, but more notable was this strong carry in the passages of play leading up to the score, Daly showing good footwork to skip past defenders.At the time, Daly was enjoying a fine run of try-scoring form, having also crossed against Ospreys in the previous round of URC fixtures.
This sequence just after the 20 minute mark highlights both his strong ball-carrying ability and his effectiveness in coming in off his wing.As Munster go through the phases Daly then drifts infield and shows impressive power to drive through the tackle from Josh van der Flier. With Tommy O’Brien free to Ngatai’s right, Daly gets his timing and technique spot on – although Leinster do recycle the ball and Jason Jenkins eventually breaks through to score the first try of the game.
