Munster’s best tries from 2020/21 | Preparations in Pre Season continue

Munster scored 81 tries in 25 games over the 2020/21 season. Here is a selection of the best across the Champions Cup, Guinness PRO14 and Rainbow Cup.

The selection includes a wide range of scores – from fantastic backline moves and 22-metre mauls to lethal counter-attacks and moments of individual brilliance.

JJ Hanrahan’s PRO14 Try of the Season against Cardiff is included along with Jack O’Donoghue’s first try of Munster’s season against Scarlets as three of Mike Haley’s four tries last season make the cut.

Munster Rugby Player of the Year Gavin Coombes was the top try-scorer with 15 , a typical Coombes finish against Ospreys that saw him power past three defenders also made the highlights.

Watch all of the tries below.

Speaking about the pre-season training programme, Munster Rugby Head of Athletic Performance Ged McNamara said: “These first two weeks are very S&C-led and then there will be a bit of a download/modified week for everybody and then we’re back in for the helter-skelter of the game.

“Everybody came back in such good shape so we were able to crack on from the first week.”
