McGahan positive after heat of battle

MUNSTER’S relieved coach Tony McGahan focused on the positives rather than negatives as Munster prepare for a demanding end of season Magners League and Amlin Cup programme.

Munster’s normally water-tight defence was unlocked by Brive thrice in Saturday’s thrill-a-minute European quarter final and video analysis will surely eat into the players’ work time this week.

In the aftermath of an exciting but difficult day at baking Brive, McGahan bit his tongue on the defensive lapses: “Our defence has been a strong point of our season so far, and I’m sure it will be (again) for the next few weeks. We needed to be more clinical in our defence.”
