Irish hoodoo doesn’t bother us, says Biarritz boss

BIARRITZ president Marcel Martin says his team have no fears of facing Leinster in Dublin, despite his team having never won on these shores.

The French champions have a record of played three, lost three from Heineken Cup ties in Ireland, a record which would concern the most ardent Biarritz fan going into their quarter-final clash in Dublin on April 13.

But Martin insisted: “Playing in Ireland does not worry us especially. We are a professional team and we know it is never easy to win in Ireland but apart from losing at Donnybrook two years ago we have played well there.
