Connacht end epic year on low note as Munster prove too strong

It never rains but it pours. In Galway when it rains, it always pours. It was like the old days in the Sportsground but that was half the problem for Connacht. Another defeat sees them lose more ground with the gang ahead of them hoping to play Champions Cup rugby next season; Munster, despite a mish-mash of a team, had enough in them to win and stretch their lead at the head of Pro12 affairs.
