Murphy expects harsh words from O’Connell

JOHNE MURPHY is bracing for some strong words tomorrow as Munster turn their focus towards next weekend’s Heineken Cup pool return fixture against Scarlets.

Munster came away from Wales on Saturday with a crucial away win but wing Murphy, who played a key role in Niall Ronan’s first-half try that paved the way for a 17-14 win, knows there will be a sharp reminder from captain Paul O’Connell that the home leg will not be a cakewalk.

“Paulie spoke after the game and he said we have to have a meeting on Tuesday; just the players because next week is a dangerous one,” Murphy said.
