Writing in the Irish Independent Neil Francis says that Munster's superior desire helped them overcome European Champions Leinster in the Magners League Grand Final.
"Normally in matches like this there are no winners, just survivors. The truth is always and only in the action, and in this pulsating match Munster proved that when they really, really absolutely have to, they can pull one out of the bag.
"They were the better team on the day, dominant in the first half, sharp, precise and alert. Their pack had a voracious appetite at the breakdown and they were just that little bit more controlled and composed in the red zone.
"More importantly they scored precious tries, something they had been singularly unable to achieve in seven matches, but when you are like a dog without a bone, sometimes that hunger takes you to the edge. Munster had that edge and in scoring those two tries they also managed to keep Leinster tryless."
