No sick note excuses as Munster take European exit ‘on the chin’

Graham Rowntree and captain Tadhg Beirne don’t blame defeat to Northampton on bug in the camp

Munster's Tadhg Beirne is tackled by Burger Odendaal of Northampton Saints during the Investec Champions Cup Round of 16 match at Franklin's Gardens.

“We had a bit of a bug going around the group. We will regroup this week and have a look at what we’re doing. I was just talking to Tadhg about what we will not do this week, rather than what we will do. We will regroup and then we’re down to South Africa for two weeks. Two huge games again in South Africa and we’ll get on with it. We’ll dust ourselves down, see what we can fix, and drive on.

“I’m proud of our effort. We stuck in there, a proper game of rugby. It’s not been a straightforward week in terms of availability and illness. As you can hear from my man here, it’s not been the most straightforward but we rolled our sleeves up and got on with it for a big game against a great team. I’m proud of our effort but we’ll sit down and look at how we don’t give away those presents.”
