Sharks must master Munster after French upset, says Andre

PHILIPPE Saint Andre has urged Sale Sharks not to undermine the “massive achievement” of beating French giants Clermont Auvergne, by losing their Heineken Cup showdown against holders Munster.

Saint Andre rated last weekend’s 32-15 victory in France as Sale’s finest performance since they defeated Leicester to be crowned 2006 Premiership champions.

But the Sharks boss knows it is vital his players back up that display by toppling Munster at a sold-out Edgeley Park tomorrow. Saint Andre said: “The win against Clermont was a massive achievement, but it is now consigned to the record books.
