Tadhg Beirne admits that Munster effectively shot themselves in the foot in the first-half of their Challenge Cup defeat to Exeter Chiefs. Head coach Clayton McMillan could only agree that the visitors had left themselves with far too much work to do. First 13 minutes in the first-half, defensively we were really robust, held out Exeter for a long period of time. “We just coughed up the ball to them and they were clinical in fairness to them,” said Beirne. I thought we were very good in the first five minutes, but then it was the same story, wasn't it?
