Wed 11 Nov 2008Munster so close to joining the immortals
RUGBY/Munster 16 New Zealand 18:SO CLOSE, so desperately close to yet another team of immortals. New Zealand often dig deep into their rich reserves of history but it was a largely second-string Munster team which dug deepest as Thomond Park throbbed like never before.
