Crouching Tigers, hidden hands: Munster’s biggest test

WITH THE Six Nations folded up and tucked away, rugby’s focus has swung emphatically back to the quarter-finals of the Heineken European Cup.

There is considerable anger in Munster, where fans have travelled to all corners of Europe to follow their team over the last few seasons. With only 4,000 tickets available for Sunday’s glamour tie with Leicester, many have been left disappointed.

Of course, had the roles been reversed, there is no way that Munster would abandon Thomond Park to accommodate the ticket requirements of the visiting team.
