McGahan preaching caution

MUNSTER coach Tony McGahan admitted he is as fearful now for Heineken Cup qualification as he was before the first round of pool games.

Three wins from three starts have put the province in pole position in Pool 1, with a strong chance of reaching the quarter-finals for the first time in two seasons, provided they can secure a home win this Sunday against Scarlets at Thomond Park (12.45pm).

On a day when he welcomed fit-again Ireland wing Keith Earls to his 29-man squad for Sunday’s Heineken Cup clash with the Welsh region, McGahan said he could not feel good about Munster’s position at the halfway stage of the group stage.
