If the playing personnel isn’t going to change at Munster, the game plan must

We’ve been down this road before, on seven different occasions now since Paul O’Connell, in tandem with Ronan O’Gara, lifted the Heineken Cup aloft in Cardiff 11 years ago after Munster beat the tournament’s greatest side to that point in a memorable 16-13 win over Toulouse.

The worry at half-time was that, having sized up what Munster had to offer in attack, Saracens would go for broke, just as they did against Glasgow in similar circumstances in the quarter-final, and back their superior attacking game to put daylight between the teams. That is exactly what transpired.
