True but they didn't manage to quell Saracens after that fully, especially when you most expected them to (i.e. when Saracens went down to 13 men) which shows just how hard the men in black pushed Munster. It points more to Munster having the experience to keep themselves just ahead by a nose.

The reaction from most of the Munster faithful was generous praise and barely contained relief. The last minute or so was a very quiet one of the Red flood at the Ricoh...
