• Saracens 15-6 Munster• Vunipola brothers shine in bad-tempered victoryThere are bigger issues on Saracens’ minds these days but they remain in contention of one competition, at least, of which they are champions. An ugly, bad-tempered home win over Munster keeps them on the shoulders of the Irishmen in Pool Four, albeit seven adrift of Racing 92.
Two tries in the last quarter did for Munster, who had resisted manfully a rather lacklustre Saracens for most of the match. Lacklustre, that is, until a brawl broke out involving virtually every player on the pitch, 10 minutes into the second half. Owen Farrell, captain for the day, engaged with particular feeling, squaring off with his fellow Lion half-back, Conor Murray.
