Omens are good for Munster revenge

APRIL 30, 2004 was a sad and ignominious day in the history of Munster rugby. That was the date when an understrength side from the province crashed 60-14 to their Cardiff hosts at the Arms Park.

The Cardiff Blues did as they wished that night. Craig Morgan ran in a hat-trick of tries, Tom Shanklin touched down twice and there was another for Martyn Williams.

It won’t be lost on Munster coach Alan Gaffney that the trio play in this evening’s Celtic League tie at Thomond Park, (5.15, Setanta TV).
