Cullen countdown begins for Munster

IT will come as no surprise if Christian Cullen is jetlagged before he boards an aircraft for Ireland on Saturday.

It is almost two weeks since Munster's star signing played his last game on home soil, and since that appearance for Wellington in the NPC final he has been living out of a suitcase.

He has travelled the length and breadth of New Zealand to publicise his recently-released biography, Christian Cullen Life on the Run.
