Fit Munster squad should make it a happy ending for Gaffney

RONAN O’GARA will be back, the walking wounded should all be fit and well so everything points to a happy ending to his three year innings as Munster coach for Alan Gaffney.

Llanelli Scarlets provide the Celtic Cup final opposition at Lansdowne Road on Saturday next. Three days later, Gaffney will be on board an aircraft that will deposit him back in his native Sydney some time on Wednesday.

Fast forward to the following Friday and he will be already at his desk to start the next phase of his career as assistant coach to Eddie Jones and the Australian national side.
