Gaffney hoping for a French win

ALAN GAFFNEY expects his thoughts to stray to the French-Spanish border in the final hours before Munster’s Heineken Cup clash against Italian minnows Viadana on Saturday.

The Munster coach and his players will be more than interested in the result coming through from the crucial Perpignan v Gloucester clash for obvious reasons.

Yesterday, Gaffney insisted he is hoping for a French win to boost Munster's pool qualification chances.
