Leinster's Jimmy O'Brien and Tommy O'Brien featured in the top of the table clash against Benetton in Round 10 of the URC season. Munster's Gavin Coombes shone in the match against Scarlets, scoring tries and displaying exceptional performance, leading Munster to victory with a bonus point secured.
Tonight’s #BKTURC Player of the Match Gavin Coombes now has 42 tries in 88 Munster appearances 🤯 #SCAvMUN #SUAF 🔴 https://t.co/HcAwV7CIuR
Another huge display from Munster No 8 Gavin Coombes. Already the URC's top carrier by some distance, he will have extended his lead. Two tries and relentless gain-line crossing. His absence from the Ireland squad says it all about their back row strength.
Lovely play to move the ball wide from Munster as they secure the bonus point try through Thomas Ahern. Munster well on their way to their first away win of the URC this season. #SCAvMUN #URC
That is some try from Joe Roberts. Lovely deception in the pass from Scarlets co-centre Eddie James and then it was all about pace and determination from Roberts. Munster’s lead now reduced to 14-7.
H-T: Scarlets 0, Munster 14. Two more tries for No 8 Gavin Coombes to add to his brace in the win over the Crusaders a fortnight ago. Munster dominant at the scrum, powerful on the close quarter carry and fluid in space. Scarlets error strewn.
A couple of no. 8 stats for you ahead of tonight's Scarlets-Munster match: - No player has stolen more lineouts in the URC this season than Vaea Fifita (7) - No player has made more running metres after contact than Gavin Coombes (151) #SCAvMUN #URC
