Sarries shock sees friends reunited
Munster have been to the Ricoh before, losing there 24-23 to Wasps during this season’s group stages in November, and semi-finals are by now second nature but Gaffney, who twice led the Irish province into the last four, will take his latest charges into a first such contest on April 27.
Having seen Saracens overpower Ospreys at a sold-out 18,000-plus Vicarage Road, Gaffney admitted the text messages between Watford and the south-west of Ireland had been flying back and forth over the weekend but the Australian refused to look too far ahead to plotting the downfall of a team he coached for three years.
