MUNSTER RATINGS

SIMON ZEBO 4

Rare moment of Munster creativity with first-half cross-kick but had little impact.

A CONWAY 4

Strong aerially, but too often left exposed in defence by narrow set-up inside him.

FRANCIS SAILI 3

Summed up under-par Munster stint. Poor defensively, inaccurate in possession.

RORY SCANNELL 4

Early HIA forced him out and was replaced before half-time.

KEITH EARLS 4

Outplayed by Liam Williams, exposed out wide like Conway, missing three tackles.

T BLEYENDAAL 5

Munster’s best attacker as he tried to haul the team back, but missed three tackles.

CONOR MURRAY 4

Still playing his way back and well below normal high level. Disappointing day.

DAVE KILCOYNE 3

Failed to protect the ball and exacerbated mistakes with poor defence. Sloppy.

NIALL SCANNELL 5

Perfect out of touch and strong in the scrum. Contributed in the loose.

JOHN RYAN 4

Excellent all season but needs to trust his pass to take next step. Bad miss for Davies’s try.

D RYAN 4

Couldn’t make an impact on his final appearance. Sad way to bow out.

BILLY HOLLAND 4

Put in a shift but couldn’t influence a game that was flowing the other way.

P O’MAHONY 4

Early carries fizzled out and frustration manifested in silly penalty concession.

T O’DONNELL 4

Couldn’t impose his physicality and guilty of costly turnover.

CJ STANDER 4

Ankle injury has dented his stride and he couldn’t have an influence.

BENCH IMPACT 4

Jaco Taute (left) was first in but couldn’t make much of an impact. Only Jean Deysel left his mark.
