Follow all the action from Franklin’s Gardens as the Irish province go in underdogs to progress
Northampton win a scrum penalty and will see out the game. That’s that for Munster’s European hopes this season.So a superb first half performance by Munster but they couldn’t sustain it at all. Failed to score in the second half and rarely looked like scoring in a disjointed end to the game. Credit to Northampton though, who are a top outfit and will challenge for the trophy at the end of the season. Disappointment for Munster, who will now have to focus on a strong end to their URC campaign.
There is no doubting his energy and speed to the breakdown, the next challenge is to showcase his decision-making and passing range to best effect. The balance looks to have shifted in his favour now. The stage is set for Munster’s halfback pairing to produce a statement performance on the road this weekend.”
In his match preview, Gerry Thornley writes “By any logical yardstick, Northampton are entitled to start favourites and should progress to next weekend’s quarter-finals, and a home tie against the Bulls. Their form has been more consistent, they deservedly came from behind to win with 14 men for over half of the match at Thomond Park last January and, at face value, not a whole lot has changed in the interim.
