Huge campaign to keep Latham at Queensland

IRISH weather and a massive fan campaign could prove to be Munster’s biggest stumbling blocks in their bid to land Queensland and Australian full-back Chris Latham.

Queensland Red rugby officials met with Latham yesterday in a bid to halt his planned transfer to Munster while the local newspaper launched a campaign to keep the international on home soil.

The contrast in weather condition between the Sunshine State and the Emerald Isle appear to be the main weapon which his bosses are using in their efforts to keep the talented full-back in the southern hemisphere.
