Munster’s Unbeaten Run Ends In Murrayfield

Munster’s unbeaten run ended in Murrayfiield this evening where the Michael Bradley coached home side were thoroughly deserving 29-14 winners.

They led 16-0 at one stage after totally dominating the opening quarter and then three Ian Keatley penalties offered Munster some hope as they went into the break.

However the home side extended their lead with a try from hooker Steve Lawrie and penalty from the unerring Greig Laidlaw and although Munster managed one from replacement Danny Barnes it was a question of much too little much too late.
