Kiwi old boys get set to cross swords in Musgrave clash

THERE will be a reunion of sorts for Munster centre Rua Tipoki at Musgrave Park tonight.

One of his best friends from his New Zealand playing days, Xavier Rush, is captain of the Cardiff Blues side bidding to halt Munster’s perfect start to the Magners League campaign.

Rush has more northern hemisphere experience, but Tipoki, after just a couple of games for Munster, is proving to be a quick learner and is settling in well to Declan Kidney’s plans.
