Jack Crowley modestly refused to take credit for kicking the winning points as Munster stunned Leinster in the URC semi-finals.Trailing 15-13 with just three minutes left, Munster worked their way upfield and into position for the out-half to land the sweetest of kicks between the posts.Graham Rowntree's side then held out for a famous one-point victory that sets up a BKT United Rugby Championship final against the DHL Stormers, who earlier beat Connacht, in Cape Town in two weeks’ time."The moment itself is something but it’s more the 77 other minutes before that that the boys put in," Crowley told RTÉ Sport."The forwards coming our with it in the corner, the effort that the backs put in, the 23."Then you go beyond that to the lads back home who aren’t on the pitch today."That’s what goes into today.

That moment it goes over the bar that's what you practice for, that’s what you are there to do, you have to do that, it’s the effort that the boys put in, far beyond the 23."It’s an unbelievable effort, both coaches and squad.

It’s more than a moment."Look, we’re in a final, that’s where you want to be. [I] haven’t registered it yet."We have to give credit to Leinster today.

All week we had to give them respect as a quality side."They are not in the [Champions Cup] final next week for no reason. The squad they have, the quality they have, we had to give them the utmost respect."You saw what it took to even beat them.
