JJ crucial to Munster hopes

It’s hard to know if players found it hard to raise themselves for Glasgow after the Toulouse game. Emotionally they’d certainly have been up for the Heineken Cup game, there’s something so special about the competition, obviously, and taking on a team that’s synonymous with the tournament, but I don’t think it would have taken as much physically out of them as certain other games. They won quite comfortably in the end.

Something to bear in mind about the Glasgow game was its significance for the visitors: Glasgow have nothing else to play for bar the Rabo, so last weekend was their season, really. And when it comes to top level sport, if you’re even a small bit off, a tiny bit lacking in focus or application, you’ll be exposed.
