Lineen: we must pick ourselves up for Munster

GLASGOW Warriors players have been read the riot act by head coach Sean Lineen ahead of their trip to Cork to play Munster on Saturday.

The Scottish side visit the Magners League leaders at Musgrave park on the back of a 28-17 derby defeat to Edinburgh at Murrayfield last Sunday.

Yet while Munster head coach Tony McGahan has stayed positive in the face of some recent setbacks, including a Heineken Cup defeat at Ospreys, a misfiring scrum, key injuries and a ban for Paul O’Connell, he will lock horns with a coach at the weekend who has felt the need to abandon his usually optimistic demeanour.
