O’Leary ready to stand up and fight

MUNSTER scrum-half Tomas O’Leary says he and his team-mates must make the new Thomond Park a fortress once again, following the recent heavy Magners League defeat by Ulster.

There have been suggestions that opposition teams look forward to playing in the remodelled venue rather than dreading their visits Shannonside.

But O’Leary, speaking ahead of tomorrow night’s crunch Heineken Cup game against Sale, said recreating that intimidating aura is in the players’ hands.
