PAUL O’CONNELL is on a dual mission to erase the bitter memories of last season’s Heineken Cup quarter final exit to Llanelli Scarlets and the two pool defeats suffered at the hands of Saturday’s opponents in 2003 and 2004.

ASIDE from long-term injury absentees David Wallace and Rob Henderson, Munster coach Alan Gaffney will have a full strength panel from which to pick the team to play Viadana in Italy on Saturday night next in Pool 2 of the Heineken Cup.
