Graham Rowntree’s men have become tough to beat even when having an off-day.
AFTER YESTERDAY’S GRIPPING URC interpro derby in Limerick, Graham Rowntree sat down in the Thomond Park press room and rattled out some numbers.
In the not-so-distant past, it wouldn’t have been hard to imagine Munster losing this game. Their accuracy was off, their discipline poor, and the more they tried to make things happen with no success the more the crowd became audibly frustrated. It’s knockout rugby now, and the defending champions head into the business end of the season knowing they are tough to beat even when having an off day.
Rowntree said the nature of the victory will stand to his players but Richie Murphy can also feel good about his team’s showing.
