Munster eventually thump Scarlets after first-half struggle session
By PA
Munster made it 10 successive wins against Welsh opposition as player-of-the-match Gavin Coombes shone in a 29-8 victory over Scarlets at Thomond Park.
Coombes (2), Alex Kendellen and Tom Farrell all crossed during the second half for Munster, who move up to fifth in the BKT United Rugby Championship.
Replacement Macs Page scored Scarlets’ only try, the visitors having trailed 7-3 at half-time following Shay McCarthy’s converted effort midway through an uninspiring opening 40 minutes.
Having fallen behind to an Ioan Lloyd penalty, Munster made up for Tom Ahern’s cancelled try – there was a knock-on at a maul – when a quick move off another maul sent McCarthy over.
Scarlets had initially defended well during Joe Roberts’ sin-binning for a deliberate knock-on, yet Munster centres Rory Scannell and Farrell combined to play in pacy replacement McCarthy.
Loose handling, scrappy phases and overcooked kicks made for a poor second quarter, with the Scarlets defence managing to frustrate the home side.
Nonetheless, Munster delivered a much-improved third quarter as their forwards took control and converted the pressure into points.
Powerful number eight Coombes, who is set to be involved with Ireland ‘A’ next week, drove in low to score inside five minutes of the restart.
Kendellen soon burrowed over, with Billy Burns adding a fine conversion from out wide.
Talented youngster Page lifted Scarlets with a brilliant breakaway try, winning the race to his own kick, although Paddy Patterson felt he had held him up past the line.
Coombes, who had switched to lock at this stage, took care of the bonus point with another close-range finish in the 63rd minute.
Despite losing Shane Daly to the sin bin for a high tackle, Munster tagged on a late fifth try through Farrell in the right corner.

England have absolutely no need for him. Tom Willis and Ben Earl are better with a much higher work rate.
Go to commentsI’m a musician, and not long ago, I was scammed out of $12,000 by a fake music streaming service called Streamify Pro. It’s a story I never thought would happen to me, but it did, and I feel it’s important to share it, especially for other artists in the music industry who might be vulnerable to the same scam. I got an email from what seemed like a legitimate music streaming platform, offering me an opportunity to get my music on a huge new service. They promised high visibility, global exposure, and the chance to generate more revenue from streams. It seemed like a dream come true for an independent musician like me, who is always looking for ways to grow my audience. The email looked official, and they even provided testimonials from artists who’d “made it big” by using their service. They had a polished website with all the right buzzwords, making everything look very convincing. They also gave me a “special deal” on their package, offering me placement on their platform for a fee of $12,000. It was a hefty amount, but I thought it was worth the investment, considering the exposure they promised. I transferred the money, but soon after, things started to feel off. My music was never uploaded to their platform. They stopped responding to my emails, and the phone number they gave me went straight to voicemail. I tried to do some research and found that there were no actual reviews or artists talking about the service online. It hit me hard—I had just lost $12,000.That’s when I reached out to ASSET RESCUE SPECIALIST. I was feeling desperate and didn’t know what else to do. They were incredibly responsive and understood exactly what I was going through. They launched an investigation into the scam and worked tirelessly to recover the full amount that I had lost. To my amazement, they were able to recover 100% of the $12,000 I had been scammed out of. Since then, I’ve been recommending ASSET RESCUE SPECIALIST to other musicians. They did what seemed impossible, and their service was absolutely worth it. If you’re a musician or anyone in the creative industry, be cautious about these types of scams. I learned the hard way, but thanks to ASSET RESCUES SPECIALIST, I got all of my money back.DM FOR MORE DETAILS:mail: assetrescuespecialist@qualityservice.comWhatsApp:+ 1 9 0 3 5 5 9 1 7 3 3.support@assetrescuespecialist.com.
