Munster braced for the Leinster storm, says Quinlan

MUNSTER back row forward Alan Quinlan is expecting a Leinster backlash in Saturday’s All-Ireland Heineken Cup semi-final at Croke Park.

Quinlan and company have held the upper hand in the last two Magners League meetings of the sides and they triumphed 30-6 at the same stage of the 2006 Heineken Cup tournament in an epic clash at Lansdowne Road.

Leinster’s ability to handle big day pressure has been questioned but Quinlan is adamant “they’ve shown this year that they have put all that behind them.”
