Perpignan reflect on shock reversal

MUNSTER supporters disappointed with their side’s loss to Northampton can take solace in the shock result from the first weekend of Heineken Cup games, when Perpignan lost 9-8 to Benetton Treviso.

The Italians’ victory has made qualification from the group extremely difficult for the French champions, and in the aftermath of the defeat some of the Perpignan players are openly questioning team spirit.

“We thought it would be easy, we were wrong,” said Perpignan hooker Marius Tincu.
