Fark, looks like we’ll be missing Southern Hemisphere rugby more and more, because the games in the Heineken Cup is like watching paint dry.
Nobody in the Perpignan side to take a penalty to posts from Halfway, so they kick out near the Munster 22
Perpignan gets a penalty on the Munster 22… surely this will be a shot at goal…and is
Missed… wow.
Looked close
Some of these players won’t make a South African Vodacom Cup side….
5 Minutes to go, Munster have the ball in Perpignan territory….
They play backwards under pressure, Perpignan scrum now inside Munster territory
This phase will be critical now…
Was critical…. Try Benvenutti, Perpignan!
Perpignan 17 / 13 Munster
One final chance for Munster with a scrum to them with 30 secnds to go… on the 10m line of Perpignan

Phweeew!
Good try too… awarded
Final Score: Munster 18 / 17 Perpignan
Lots of drama at the end… more in the last 5 minutes than in the rest of the game put together.
