Gaffney to strengthen Munster squad for next year

WHETHER Munster win this season’s Heineken European Cup or not, coach Alan Gaffney is adamant he will strengthen his squad for next year.

He has already been in discussion with Chris Latham, the richly talented Australian full-back/winger and admits “he is one of the parties we’ve been talking to and looking at, although no agreement has been reached. There won’t be wholesale changes by any stretch of the imagination, we’re just looking to plug a few holes here and there, people getting near the end of their careers, others carrying long term injuries, they are the only holes we will be filling.”

Over the next couple of months, players’ agents know that teams will be looking to bolster their squads, so CVs are being sent all over the place and Alan Gaffney confirms that a number have landed on his desk.
