McGahan’s Magners fixation

DOWN the line, Munster’s Amlin Challenge Cup game against Brive might be regarded as the next highlight of the season. Except it’s not, and neither is the upcoming ‘battle of Ireland’ with Leinster. At least not for now, according to Tony McGahan.

Munster’s coach has his eyes firmly set on Cardiff Blues tomorrow night when Munster seek to address problems they have had on the road in Wales these last few seasons. It’s not a bad record, just not a particularly good one and McGahan wants the leaders to address that.

His 29-man squad includes Ireland’s returning internationals, although it’s likely that only Paul O’Connell of those who started against England last weekend, will feature from the start of this one.
