Japanese students join Munster’s red army

ALTHOUGH they miss their favourite Sumo wrestling heroes, a group of Japanese students at the University of Limerick have found a fascinating substitute — the spectacle of Paul O’Connell and the Munster pack in full flight, charging at the opposition.

The big Heineken European Cup final has attracted the Munster loyalties of the 13 visiting Japanese.

The students even wear their red Munster jerseys as they attend lectures.
