Latest Video & Pics: Munster V Treviso

See that action shots and video highlights, plus get the post-match thoughts of Head Coach Anthony Foley following Munster’s bonus point win over Benetton Treviso in Round 20 of the Guinness PRO12.

Anthony Foley gave his thoughts post-match, “We got 5 points and that secures our place in the top four so we’re happy in that regard but it was still a scrappy, error strewn performance by us so we need to work on that.

“We got a good physical challenge out there today and you have to give credit to Treviso – they are vying it out with Zebre for the Italian Champions Cup spot and they threw everything at us. At times we felt lucky, but at other times I felt we thoroughly deserved it.

“In the first half we gave away three penalties in a row and allowed Treviso utilise one of their biggest strengths in their maul and they scored off it, and then in the second half we gifted them a straight forward try that they didn’t have to work too hard for so we’ll be disappointed with that.

“On the plus side our scrum put them under a lot of pressure and I thought Tommy O’Donnell played very well on his 100th cap and we’re lucky that we have lots of competition for places in the back row with the likes of Dave (O’Callaghan) and Jack (O’Donoghue). That’s what we want, to have these guys fighting for places on Tuesdays and Thursdays on the training field – to have a bit of bite on the training field. We need it after that performance because we wanted to be better, we didn’t put in the performance we wanted but luckily enough we got the result we needed.”
