Melville: winning in Munster our goal

Gloucester know they are guaranteed a last-eight place if they avoid defeat at Thomond Park. Gloucester crushed Munster 35-16 at Kingsholm in October and do not intend showing mercy this time either. “We are totally ready for it,” said Gloucester rugby director Nigel Melville.

“The big incentive for us is that it’s a must-win game. We want to go through and win the pool, which would give us a home tie.
