With tries from Billy Holland and Cathal Sheridan, and two conversions from the boot of Rory Scannell, Munster survived a second half onslaught from Yorkshire Carnegie to grind out a deserved 14-9 win at Kinsale RFC.


Commenting on the win, Munster A Head Coach Mick O’Driscoll said, “The game was very scrappy at times but much of that was down to the weather conditions – the wind coming straight down the middle of the pitch was difficult for both sides.


“We had a lot of young guys who got some good game time here and for some of the guys like Billy Holland coming back from injury, it was good hard rugby which is what we need.


“Yorkshire Carnegie are a side known for their strong scrummaging and maul and for us to match them on that front tonight was a big positive.”


O’Driscoll was also impressed with the game management of his captain on the night, Rory Scannell, “Rory has been mixing it between 10 and 12 and he did a very good job tonight. He put us in the right areas and did well to land our conversions where both the wind and conditions under foot were not favourable.”
