Corry: easier to retain Cup than win the first

LEICESTER captain Martin Corry believes it is easier to retain the Heineken Cup than win it for the first time.

Corry’s side arrive in Thomond Park on Saturday hoping to put a dent in Munster’s plan to recapture European club rugby’s most sought after silverware.

However, with the hosts already five from five in Pool Four and on a run of 13 straight wins in the competition, the words of the former English captain are so far ringing true.
