Not good.
Munster came up just short in their Heineken Cup champions Cup clash with Toulouse yesterday afternoon but they may be lamenting what could have been had this shocking tackle on Joey Carbery been picked up by the referee and TMO on the day.
The province trailed 11-0 after just 17 minutes but fought back to lead 16-14 with just twenty minutes left in the game. But two late Jaminet penalties sealed victory for the home side, leaving Munster now with a tough away trip to South Africa against the Sharks in the last 16.
Things might have played out a little differently, however, had a high tackle on Munster out-half Joey Carbery after just 26 minutes, been picked up by the match officials on the day.
