Munster boost as French go for profit

MUNSTER have been handed a Heineken Cup advantage by Bourgoin, following the decision to move January’s clash between the sides to Geneva.

The Pool 4, round five fixture will take place at the 30,000 all-seater Stade de Geneve, home to Swiss football club Servette FC, which has a capacity of more than three times that of Bourgoin’s Stade Pierre Rajon.

Basing the decision on the huge support enjoyed by Munster, the French club have gone for profit before victory, handing Munster a serious psychological advantage.
