‘We were searching for the inches everywhere’

IT’S odd because yesterday morning in the Rochestown Park Hotel in Douglas, we spoke theoretically to the players about the type of game this Munster final might be.

I said I’d no idea what way it might go, but if I gave ye a Munster Championship medal now and told you the score would be 0-4 to 0-3, would ye take it?

Psychologically, our lads were prepared for what followed; they knew it was going to be tight, and goals are always extra important in such a game.
