‘The moment you know you’ve won or lost’

DONNCHA O’CALLAGHAN will be waiting for a moment at Stade Felix-Mayol on Sunday.

The moment when the packs of Toulon and Munster collide at a point of the game and something has to give. The instant when a collective will disintegrates and a spirit is broken.

If that happens to the visiting Munster forwards, the Ireland and Lions lock is only too aware that the province’s European dream will end in a premature stage not experienced for a dozen years and that prospect scares the life out of him.
