Apart from the fact it took Munster the guts of an hour to finally secure the expected bonus point against the hapless West Country men. Dan Goggin and Tommy O'Donnell were the chief injury casualties, departing with what appeared like serious enough injuries. Less serious casualties were those who had expected a contest but got a poor imitation of top-class European rugby. Munster were stepping up in tempo and execution by the time Cipriani was handed his cards – or card. That was the game won and Munster not only took their foot off the pedal but slipped out of the driver's seat altogether.
