Old friends are best as Gaffney looking forward to reunion

CHANGING the flight plan from Cardiff to Coventry will be the least of Munster’s concerns as they ponder Saracens’ surprise Heineken Cup quarter-final win over Ospreys.

There were few outside the Saracens dressing room that believed they could beat the star-studded Welsh side in Sunday’s Heineken Cup quarter-final at Vicarage Road, Watford, and set up a clash with Munster at Coventry’s Ricoh Arena on April 27.

But instead of heading to the Millennium Stadium later this month to take on the much-fancied Ospreys, Declan Kidney’s squad will now have to prepare for a reunion with former boss Alan Gaffney and his buoyant Sarries.
