Video nasty shock for Gaffney and Munster

MUNSTER coach Alan Gaffney must be thinking the gods of fate are conspiring against preparations for Sunday's Heineken Cup quarter-final against Biarritz.

The coach revealed yesterday how thieves struck in Newport last Friday and made away with computers and disc files on Biarritz as Munster prepared for their Celtic League game against the Dragons.

"We had an unfortunate incident at our hotel in Wales when our computers and hard drive went missing after a break-in to our team room. All the work we did on Biarritz had to be redone on Saturday and Sunday," said Gaffney.
