McGahan delight as Munster up for the cup

TONY MCGAHAN could not have asked for better preparation for Munster’s Amlin Challenge Cup semi-final than this dramatic victory at the Ospreys.

There are warm-up games against difficult opponents and then there are warm-up games at venues where no Irish team has won for almost two years and the hosts, the reigning Magners League champions, were undefeated since last October.

In the end Munster left it as late with the final kick of the match, but McGahan knows victory at the Liberty Stadium will work wonders for the confidence of his team before facing Harlequins this weekend.
