Munster can make it pay Back time in Tigers’ den

MUNSTER v Leicester, Welford Road, second weekend in April.

Given all possible permutations going into the last round of games, from a neutral perspective, even from the perspective of the Munster fans, the repeat of last year's final was surely the most desirable, and is now the most attractive and intriguing of the quarter-finals in this Heineken Cup. The Tiger's den, another almost-

impregnable foreign fortress, gives Munster an early opportunity to salve a still-fresh sore, settle a recent score. Last year's Hand of Back incident will prey on the minds of both clubs, when Munster were denied a game-winning try-scoring opportunity in the final minutes by some illegal sleight-of-hand from the Leicester flanker.
