'Embarrassing, borderline disgraceful, humiliating' is how Alan Quinlan summed up Munster's loss to Stade Francais on Saturday.
Despite being handed a one-man advantage with the sending off of Josaia Raisuqe, Munster were unable to mount a challenge against the Top 14 side.
10-0 down when the Stade winger was shown the red card, Munster would go onto lose 27-7.
In his post-match interview with Sky Sports, there was real despondency in Munster captain CJ Stander's voice regarding the performance.
The fans always push us in Europe. We push ourselves to perform but we didn't, so it's disappointing.
Can't say we have to learn because it's the same stuff from last year.
We can play, we know what we want to do but we don't do it on the pitch. We do it on the training pitch but we just need to translate it onto the field. Play the 80 minutes. We're not doing that at the minute.
We're not putting our bodies on the line also.
