Munster scrum is back in business

THAT not so merry month of May 2010 has haunted the dreams of Munster forwards long enough.

Now memories of the scrum creaking in two semi-finals are being put to positive use.

Damaging defeats to Biarritz in the Heineken Cup and Leinster in the Magners League have been followed by a few dark days since. But forwards coach Anthony Foley is now seeing the fruits of a turnaround in fortunes after he, scrum coach Paul McCarthy and the pack went back to basics.
