O’Driscoll set for fierce Reds’ reception

IT’S A GREAT pity that no more than 8,000 or so people can be squeezed into Musgrave Park tonight for the latest clash of Munster and Leinster.

Of course, we’d all like an outstanding game of rugby that shows off the game in this country in the most favourable light. But victory by a solitary penalty goal to nil is just as welcome to those who happen to come out on the right side of the result.

Ironically, the outcome tonight is of considerable importance to the Magners League given that the winners will go to the top of the table.
