‘You don’t get many shots at this’

THIS new Heineken Cup campaign may be starting in October but there is a feeling of spring in the air where Munster are concerned – a sense of renewal, rebirth and resolution.

At least that’s the way Denis Leamy puts it.

Renewal in the sense of a reappraisal of what it takes for Munster to succeed at the highest level. Rebirth on a personal level after a long road back from injury and a resolve running through the squad to bounce back from last year’s disappointments.
