Reds ‘gave us kick up backside’, Chuter says as Tigers eye Thomond trip

GEORGE Chuter says Leicester’s visit to Thomond Park on January 20 is uppermost in their minds ever since the Tigers’ opening Pool Four defeat to Munster in October.

The England hooker admits the October defeat to the Heineken Cup champions was “a big kick up the backside” and “snapped us back into European mode”

If Munster and Leicester win their round five games this weekend the automatic qualification spot in Pool Four is up for grabs in Limerick on January 20.
