Christmas crackers: Munster v Leinster part 2

Red v Blue.

MMmuuunnnssstteerrr!

Leinster have had it all their own way for the past few years but we are feeling in the Christmas spirit and Rob Penney has a handshake you can be proud of.

Munster fact:

Trevor Halstead, the South African centre that scored a try in the 2006 Heineken Cup Final win, briefly quit the game as a 16-year-old [in 1992] after succumbing to a series of knee injuries. He strengthened his leg muscles before making a comeback that would benefit Munster over a decade later.

Munster joke:

Denis Leamy once had a near-death experience… needless to say, death won’t come near him again [h/t munsterfans.com]

Munster on YouTube:

Simon Zebo has enjoyed a fine start to the 2012/13 season, as evidenced here in his superb try against Racing Metro in October:

This 80-metre sprint from CJ Stander isn’t bad either:
