Thomond Park fiasco

Greg Growden laments a miserable evening for the Wallabies in The Sydney Morning Herald.

"It was so ridiculous it became hilarious. But, sadly, the Thomond Park fiasco has sunk the Wallabies players into despair.

"The Wallabies B team headed to one of rugby's proudest provinces hoping to revive their Test aspirations and provide a psychological boost after the horrors of Twickenham last weekend by showing their skills against the might of Munster.

"Instead they left dishevelled, distraught and close to drowning after they floundered in the most inhospitable conditions imaginable, allowing Munster to enjoy another monumental victory over an international touring team. To add to the humiliation, the Wallabies were beaten by an Australian, with Queensland's Munster five-eighth Paul Warwick kicking them to victory with three penalties and two field goals."
