Fans see red after officials seize flag

MUNSTER fans were left seeing red on Saturday after officials from the European Rugby Cup confiscated a massive banner minutes before kick-off in the province’s Pool Four clash with Neath-Swansea Ospreys at Thomond Park in Limerick.

The chairman of the Munster Supporters Club has written to the ERC to complain in the “strongest possible terms” about the removal of the giant “Red Army” flag.

The flag, which bore the Munster crest and the words “Red Army” was removed by the officials as it surfed the crowd in the east terrace.
