Madigan needs time in No 10 jersey

Obviously I’m biased but, for me, it wasfantastic to see all the old Munster values and traditions were still there.

There are a number of teams who will be pleased with the momentum they got going in the Champions Cup over the lastfortnight and after two rounds I think you would be looking at Northampton, Saracens, Munster, Leinster, Toulon, Clermont, Racing and Toulouse as the likely candidates for success with Glasgow and Ospreys as dark horses.

The key, as always, is home advantage. It’s huge and we saw it with Munster against Saracens last Friday night. Northampton are a different proposition in Franklin’s Gardens and Saracens will be on their 4G pitch while I would be hugely surprised if Glasgow were turned over at home. The same applies to Clermont.
