REDS WILL NOT DWELL ON CALLS

URC REFEREES' boss Tappe Henning has acknowledged to Munster that the match officials made errors in Saturday's narrow loss to the Bulls.

But the Reds insist they have moved on with the focus on making the URC play-offs over their final three regular season games - and thus secure Champions Cup qualification for 25/26.

Munster must finish in the top eight of the URC to play in European club rugby's top tier next season but have dropped to seventh after that 16-13 defeat at Thomond Park, when they wrongly played with 14 men for 13 minutes in the second half.

Alex Kendellen was told to leave the pitch from the 52nd to 63rd minute after tighthead Stephen Archer was forced off with a shoulder injury and uncontested scrums were in play for the remainder of the game.

Archer had earlier come on for Oli Jager, but because Jager had failed a HIA then ref Andrea Piardi should not have reduced Munster to 14 men.
