’Quins warm-up cancellation hampers Munster’s preparation

MUNSTER’S preparations for the historic 30th anniversary clash with New Zealand have been upset following the cancellation of a warm-up game in London last night.

Premiership club Harlequins pulled the plug on a fixture arranged for the Stoop in London, claiming they had injury worries and were unable to field a strong enough team.

A frustrated Munster team manager Shaun Payne described the development as unfortunate and said the announcement was badly timed.
