Munster consider ferry options

MUNSTER officials confirmed last night that they’re investigating alternative routes to San Sebastian for the Heineken Cup semi-final against Biarritz in the event of planes still being grounded by the Icelandic volcano.

“We have looked at the various ferry options available to us and if the worst comes to the worst, we may have to travel by coach and sea,” spokesman Pat Geraghty said.

“Obviously, that would take a great deal longer than flying on the day prior to the game so we would have to leave earlier but, yes, it’s something we have been looking at.”
