Saracens show champion qualities to send Munster out of Europe

Saracens have booked their place in the European Champions Cup final in Edinburgh next month after grinding their way to a 26-10 shutout of Munster in Dublin.

Match Commentary

81'+1		10-26 End of second half
80'		Munster look to run the ball. Perhaps a little late, while they box kicked their way up to 10 minutes from time. That is that. On this, perhaps, the only team that could beat Saracens are Clermont. They will defend their title in Edinburgh next month
80'		10-26 Conversion - Ian Keatley , Munster
