Fans hope for plain sailing ahead

A CREW of intrepid Munster fans could yet launch themselves across a storm-tossed Irish Sea in a bid to make Saturday’s crunch Heineken Cup decider in Cardiff.

The six men — mostly from the Royal Cork Yacht Club — were busy studying charts and listening to the weather forecast yesterday as they planned an early morning sailing to the British mainland today.

Led by skipper Adrian Power, the dedicated fans said they would set sail for Milford Haven this morning between 4am and 6am — if it’s safe enough to do so.
