Supporters were not happy with their heroes as they fell extremely short at Allianz Park

Munster were taught a lesson in Champions Cup rugby as Saracens countered their conservative approach with domination up front, destructive ball-carrying and inventiveness up front. Chris Wyles and Chris Ashton (twice) scored tries and out-half Owen Farrell kicked the rest.

Three defeats from the last three Champions Cup interests has ended Munster’s involvement in the competition. Fans turned to Twitter in their moment of need, letting off steam and expressing hopeless frustration in equal measure.
