Quinlan eager to answer coach’s call

The phone-call, the dreaded phone-call.

As the Munster players go through their final paces in preparation for Saturday’s Heineken Cup quarter-final clash against Gloucester in Kingsholm, the players’ biggest fear is this – who is going to get that call from coach Declan Kidney, the call to explain why they haven’t made the first 15, why they haven’t even made it onto the 22?

Already, among those who didn’t even make the first cut, the 27 announced on Tuesday, there is major disappointment; there’s more to come.
