Talk time over, Munster must deliver

OCTOBER may only just be ending, but the time for turning talk into action has already arrived for Munster.

Talk to any member of the squad and management over the past few weeks, and they will unequivocally declare that everything is fine and dandy in the camp and there is no substance whatsoever to rumours of rifts or even disquiet.

They tell you that all that is required is to cut out the many unforced errors that have afflicted almost all of their performances so far this year, and to take their chances when they come.
