Munster Win In Rodney Parade

29th September 2007 By Munster Rugby

Munster Win In Rodney Parade

Trailing 16-5 at half-time Munster staged a marvellous second half come-back to end up 26-16 winners at Rodney Parade and end a two year run of defeats in Wales.


They opned brightly yet failed to register a score and when the home side raced into a 16 point lead Munster looked to be on the ropes.

However, just before the break Ian Dowling got over in the corner and this score and whatever was said at half-time had the desired effect.

Billy Holland closed the gap further with a try from close range and three Paul Warwick penalties put Munster in front before Warwick sealed the outcome with a try under the posts in injury time.

Munster: S Payne; I Dowling, K Lewis (R Tipoki.56 min), L Mafi, A Horgan; P Warwick, T O’Leary; Darragh Hurley, D Fogarty, F Pucciariello; M Melbourne, M O’Driscoll; B Holland (J Coughlan 50 min), N Ronan, A Foley capt. Replacements (not used): S Cronin, T Ryan, T O’Donnell, G Hurley, J Manning,
