Fiery Dragons lack some heat as Munster stroll home

Dragons 19, v Munster 38

THE home side may have taken some solace  from the three scores theynotched in the second half. but for Munster this was a ‘walk in the park.’

Right from the kick-off the red tide was flowing towards the home posts and after four minutes Diarmuid Kilgallen touched down but Burns missed the conversion. Tries followed as the game progressed from Alex Kendellen, Ben O’Connor Dian Bleuler, John Hodnet and a penalty try.

As the visitors emptied the bench, the Dragons scored tries by Chris Coleman, Harry Wilson and Dane Blacker with Will Reid and Lloyd Evans adding the extras. The win sees Munster move up to 7th in the URC table with their next game a home tie against Scarlets in Thomond Park on February 19.
