Streetwise Munster brilliantly play no rugby to (probably) end clumsy Lions' URC play-off dream
Munster's Springbok lock RG Snyman fields a ball as the Lions defence lurks in Saturday's URC meeting at Ellis Park. The Lions steadfastly continued their now familiar and infuriating Jekyll-and-Hyde routine as the high from a momentous win over Leinster last weekend was summarily replaced, seven days later, by a depressing 13-33 loss to Munster here on Saturday evening.
Almost spookily, the complexion of this game was a mirror image of that triumphant outing, where the team that made all of the play self-destructed and the one on the supposed back foot absorbed the pressure and ruthlessly struck when the opportunity presented itself.South Africans need to be in the know if we want to create a prosperous future.
