Graham Rowntree and Tadhg Beirne react to Munster’s URC semi-final loss to Glasgow.
THERE WILL BE a new name etched onto the URC trophy next weekend and after holders Munster were beaten at home by a spirited Glasgow Warriors side in today’s semi-final at Thomond Park, Graham Rowntree had no complaints with the outcome.
Yet they couldn’t make the most of their home advantage in this semi-final, with Munster’s accuracy and discipline letting them down as the prospect of a home URC final slipped from their grasp. They got the tries that they did without having to do much, to be honest with you, it was just the freak nature of the tries and then we tried a bit too hard near the try-line. “Credit to them, they were tenacious tonight, were Glasgow. I just said to the group there, we are saying goodbye to some big names who deserve better if I am honest with you.
Munster captain Tadhg Beirne echoed Rowntree’s sentiments, lamenting the province’s lack of accuracy with ball in hand.
