ONE MOMENT OF opportunism before half-time, and one perfectly executed set move after the break helped Munster to a convincing lead over Stade Francais in their Champions Cup pool meeting in Thomond Park today.
Earls’ try came with Munster trailing 5 – 6. Nothing looked on until the Moyross man backed his searing pace to veer through a dog-leg gap and he had generated too much power for mere gravity to stop him within five metres of the post.
Anthony Foley’s back-line created even more breathing space two minutes after half-time when Ian Keatley delivered a gorgeous deft chip into the path of Simon Zebo.

Too little too late? Yes, but still well worth enjoying.
