Rugby: Munster pray for ‘miracle’ repeat

MORE than 12,000 fans will pack Thomond Park on Saturday for the return Heineken European Cup game between Munster and Gloucester.

However, for Munster’s penultimate training session yesterday, it was a different story.

The gates were locked and you needed to have official business to gain admittance as the squad worked on putting right the failures of Kingsholm. The strategy was puzzling, but it demonstrates the importance of the game to the Munster management.
