Players know it is they who must make tackles

LIKE any other day out.

That’s the spin Munster coach Declan Kidney is putting on Sale’s approach to one of the biggest days in the Sharks’ history as they attempt to put an end to Munster’s unbeaten Heineken Cup record at Thomond Park.

While acknowledging the Thomond Park factor - “we are so appreciative of everything the ground and the supporters do for us that to speak in anything other than those terms would be wrong” - Kidney insisted yesterday that the venue will not score any points in Saturday’s crunch pool climax.
