Green: Munster pass the hemisphere test

TREVISO’S Kiwi coach Craig Green believes Munster belong to a select group of teams that could live with any club opposition in the world.

Green has tipped Munster for the top in Europe and is in no doubt that they could also compete in the southern hemisphere’s Super 12 competition.

Alan Gaffney’s side may not have been at their searing best on Saturday in Italy, but Green saw enough to recognise the rounded qualities of Ireland’s battle-hardened Heineken Cup veterans.
