O’Callaghan aiming to reward fans

DONNCHA O’CALLAGHAN hopes to repay the Munster supporters for their patience at Thomond Park today.

And the Irish and Lions star doesn’t blame the fans for being frustrated with the province’s poor early season form.

O’Callaghan admitted: “I’m not surprised at the criticism or at their disappointment. When you’re involved in an organisation like ours, high standards are expected. We have dipped below that in some of our performances but it is certainly not for the lack of trying. You could say people are being tough on us but they expect (better) when they go to support Munster. They pay a lot for it, it is expensive to travel to matches so they deserve more for their buck.
