WATCH: Munster’s incredible length of the pitch try from Andrew Conway

This is what he can offer Joe Schmidt's Ireland

Sean McMahon

Now that’s what you call a sucker punch.

Munster are currently playing the Newport Gwent Dragons at Irish Independent Park in Cork.

The southern province are looking to maintain their lead at the top of the Pro12 table.

Munster were leading in the first half 10-3 thanks to the boot of Tyler Bleyendaal and a try from Jaco Taute.

The Dragons responded almost immediately, making huge inroads into the Munster 22.

Just a few yards out, the Welsh side sent the ball from right to left in the hope of finding an opening in the Munster defence.

Thankfully for Munster, Bleyendaal read the pass and was able to intercept at the vital moment.

The Kiwi knew he didn’t have the pace to go the full length of the pitch himself but thankfully he noticed he had Conway on his inside shoulder.

Bleyendaal kicks the ball up field before being tackled, knowing that Conway has the pace to get to it first.

Conway collects and Munster are in the driving seat.

As of writing, Munster have already secured the bonus point and lead 31-10 at half time.
