Munster considered doing Haka as Gaeilge

ONE of Munster’s heroes from an unforgettable night at Thomond Park has revealed the Heineken Cup champions considered performing a Haka in Irish.

Reds stalwart Frankie Sheahan was at the centre of a passionate Munster display but suffered the heartbreak of defeat after Joe Rokocoko ran in a match-clinching try three minutes from time

Amongst the more unforgettable memories from an epic night which the All Blacks won 18-16 was the sight of Munster’s four resident Kiwis throwing down the challenge to their visitors and performing the ‘Ka Mate’ Haka.
