Player-starved Munster look for boost in Glasgow encounter

THE selection of the Munster team is no longer a straight forward matter. With players in World Cup action and others injured, coach Alan Gaffney said this week his job was never so difficult, and one of his star young players, Denis Leamy, endorsed that view.

"It has been difficult for all concerned. For the last couple of months, it has been as much a getting-to-know-you process as much as anything.

"At the start of the season, we didn't even know some of our team-mates because there were so many newcomers to the squad."
