[QUOTE="Mrs. Peter Quinn, post: 849696, member: 12190"] Tough luck Munster, well played Saracens. Munster experienced what a lot of teams go through against Saracens, which is that the things which usually work, just don't against them. Munster are an example of a strong outfit who play with intensity, physicality, exacting standards, accuracy and passion. It's not something that most teams in the pro 12 and Aviva premiership can live with most of the time. Problem is that when you come up against a side that doesn't have the usual weaknesses of average club sides and can basically do what you do but even better - you're a bit stuck. Against Saracens' "relentless, relentless" as you hear them shouting, you just need the odd bit of magic from nowhere to get you back in the game. For all Wasps faults and we have plenty, even though we were out muscled, thought, basically everything the other week, we were able to get back into the game almost from a try out of nowhere, even though we had no right to be in that game. I think at this stage in the comp to be able to beat teams as good as Saracens, you need to be able to come up with something from nothing to give yourself a lifeline, and I didn't really think Munster looked like doing that today.
