It\u2019s not that Munster were completely outclassed here.<br \/>\nThe men in red edged the battle of the half backs and the back row, broke even in lineout play and certainly didn\u2019t yield much in the tackle area.<br \/>\nConnacht had their areas of advantage though. The front row out-powered their opponents and by the end of the game.<br \/>\nThe backline play eclipsed anything Munster had to offer.<\/p>\n<p>Yet when Joe Schmidt assembles his Ireland training camp next week, players like Chris Farrell, Darren Sweetnam, Andrew Conway, David Kilcoyne and John Ryan will be in the room.<br \/>\nOn the basis of this night alone each could be directly and justifiably, replaced by the likes of Darragh Leader, Tiernan O\u2019Halloran, Tom Farrell, Denis Buckley and Finlay Bealham.<\/p>\n<h5>Enjoying<\/h5>\n<p>One win isn\u2019t enough though yet that won\u2019t stop Connacht supporters enjoying this.<br \/>\nIn fact as the crowd watched Bealham send David Kilcoyne backwards at a rate of knots to win a penalty at scrum time midway through the second half.<br \/>\nThose with green scarfs must have had a wry smile at the thought of the man they call \u2018killer\u2019 down in the south, earning caps while the Connacht tight head isn\u2019t even in the squad.<\/p>\n<p>The wider point is this. Connacht need consistency. There is no hiding from the fact that this group of players failed to deliver in September and are suffering the consequences as a result.<br \/>\nWith the benefit of hindsight all involved are pointing to the fact that the bedding in period took longer than expected and that explains a lot of the struggles.<\/p>\n<h5>Attitude shift<\/h5>\n<p>However, there seems to have been an attitude shift since this side trudged off the Sportsground pitch after the last gasp loss to Cardiff. The palpable frustration from management and subsequent introspection from players over the week that followed seems to have paid dividends.<\/p>\n<p>Ever since that game, Connacht have offered an average of three tries per game. They\u2019ve performed well away to the Scarlets and Ulster. They have notched two wins in Europe and now have the home inter-provincial scalp that they needed.<br \/>\nThis game was always going to be the true marker of where things stand and after a sketchy start Connacht passed the test.<\/p>\n<h5>Ferocious opening<\/h5>\n<p>The visitors were 10-0 up by the midway point of the first half. Simon Zebo\u2019s early try was the culmination of a ferocious opening from the the men in red.<br \/>\nWave upon wave of big carries, with Rory Scannell eventually setting up the try after the ball came loose out the back of the scrum and the centre picked it up before taking advantage of the over-pursuing Connacht defence.<br \/>\n<iframe style=\"-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden; -webkit-transform: scale(1);\" src=\"\/\/gifs.com\/embed\/zebo-try-oQQ293\" width=\"640px\" height=\"360px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h5>Fightback<\/h5>\n<p>Connacht fought back by half time with Tiernan O\u2019Halloran\u2019s try the highlight.<br \/>\nIt was made by some ingenuity between Bundee Aki and flanker Jarrad Butler.<br \/>\nThe latter took a superb looping angle and shrugged off a tackle before drawing his man and setting O&#8217;Halloran free to score.<br \/>\n<iframe style=\"-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden; -webkit-transform: scale(1);\" src=\"\/\/gifs.com\/embed\/tiernan-try-voo2km\" width=\"640px\" height=\"360px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>An in-form Keatley kept Munster in front but only by 13-10 at the break.<\/p>\n<h5>Turning point<\/h5>\n<p>After half time Jack Carty leveled matters with his third kick from four attempts.<br \/>\nBut the game\u2019s turning point came on the hour mark when Conway clattered into the Connacht ten late and leading with the forearm. The replays didn\u2019t make it look any better and there was no other option for Nigel Owens but to brandish a red card.<br \/>\nMunster responded impressively with a kick from replacement fly half JJ Hanrahan coming at the end of some good pressure.<\/p>\n<p>But Connacht were not to be deterred and the match clinching try came on 67 minutes with Tom Farrell bursting through a Hanrahan tackle 35 metres out and sprinting clear to score. The pass from Marmion looked forward but Owens reviewed it briefly and clearly didn\u2019t agree, the lead was now four.<br \/>\n<iframe style=\"-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden; -webkit-transform: scale(1);\" src=\"\/\/gifs.com\/embed\/farrell-try-MQQ86A\" width=\"640px\" height=\"360px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h5>Scrambling<\/h5>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t a perfect display by any means. Connacht finished the game scrambling to stop the 14 men of Munster mauling over their line and tackling with unrelenting intensity.<br \/>\nThey weren\u2019t exactly hanging on but they hadn\u2019t driven home the advantage either.<br \/>\nYet after the nightmare start to the campaign, the manner of the victory was not a high priority.<\/p>\n<p>The clash of styles is best summed up by the showdown at number seven.<br \/>\nButler brings the Australian flare and speed in the loose, he had nine carries and made 42 metres with two clean breaks to lead all forwards in that department.<br \/>\nTommy O\u2019Donnell barely handled the ball but hit players hard all afternoon making a game high 16 tackles. There is room in the game for both types of sevens but the contrast is striking.<\/p>\n<p>The South Africans are next and the injuries are mounting. Butler picked up a knock to the knee that will keep him out until mid December at the earliest, James Connolly and Jake Heenan are also out in that position.<\/p>\n<p>The Cheetahs are eight points clear of Connacht in the standings holding onto the third and final play-off spot in Conference A.<br \/>\nSaturday\u2019s game at the Sportsground is pivotal as a result. The men from Bloemfontein are in great shape after their win away to Zebre in Parma and confident that they have what it takes to push on up the standings.<br \/>\nOne wonders how they\u2019ll handle a skillful and buoyant Connacht.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Scoring sequence:<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>4&#8242; 0-7 &#8211; try: Simon Zebo ; conversion &#8211; Ian Keatley<br \/>\n17&#8242; 0-10 &#8211; penalty: Ian Keatley<br \/>\n23&#8242; 7-10 &#8211; try: Tiernan O&#8217;Halloran; conversion &#8211; Jack Carty<br \/>\n31&#8242; 7-13 &#8211; penalty: Ian Keatley<br \/>\n40&#8242; 10-13 &#8211; penalty: Jack Carty<br \/>\n<em>Half-time Connacht 10 Munster 13<\/em><br \/>\n51&#8242; 13-13 &#8211; penalty: Jack Carty<br \/>\n66&#8242; 13-16 &#8211; penalty: JJ Hanrahan<br \/>\n67&#8242; 20-16 &#8211; try: Tom Farrell; conversion &#8211; Craig Ronaldson<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Discipline:<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>62&#8242; Red card &#8211; Andrew Conway<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Teams:<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><em>Connacht:<\/em> T O\u2019Halloran; D Leader, B Aki, T Farrell, C Kelleher; J Carty, K Marmion; D Buckley, T McCartney, F Bealham; U Dillane, J Cannon; E McKeon, J Butler, J Muldoon (capt)<br \/>\n<em>Replacements: <\/em> N Adeolokun for Kelleher (52 mins), C Ronaldson for Carty (61 mins), D Heffernan for McCartney and Q Roux for Dillane (both 68 mins), C Carey for Bealham (70 mins), Masterson for Muldoon (74 mins)<\/p>\n<p><em>Munster<\/em>: S Zebo; A Conway, C Farrell, R Scannell, K Earls; I Keatley, C Murray; D Kilcoyne, R Marshall, J Ryan; M Flanagan, B Holland; P O\u2019Mahony (capt), T O\u2019Donnell, CJ Stander<br \/>\n<em>Replacements:<\/em> S Archer for J Ryan and JJ Hanrahan for Keatley (46 mins), K O\u2019Byrne for Marshall and L O\u2019Connor for Kilcoyne ( both 52 mins), J O\u2019Donoghue for O\u2019Donnell (63 mins), S McCarthy for Flanagan (70 mins)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Referee:<\/strong> Nigel Owens (WRU)<br \/>\n<strong>Attendance:<\/strong> 7,089<\/p>\n<p><strong>Match stats:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rI4Y9DELOBU&amp;t=6s\">ESPN stats<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Highlights:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/\">PRO14<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Connacht 20 Munster 16 By Rob Murphy at the Sportsground This was clash of styles and a triumph of creativity and ingenuity over brute force and ignorance.
