Pulling the carpet from under the Tigers

MUNSTER on the move - a red carpet of fans hoping to pull the rug from under Martin Johnson’s big size 12s.

From the four corners of the province they came, a scarlet stream through Shannon Airport and onwards to Welford Road. Lying in wait, Leicester’s crouching tigers, in for the kill and a hat-trick of wins.

The prize - a semi-final place in the Heineken Cup and a scalp either side would be happy to boast.
