Coughlan: We have to go up another notch

Although Munster have yet to show anything like the form that carried them to titles in 2006 and 2008, McGahan believes his injury-hit side have surpassed expectations.

“Even if we were at full-strength it would have been a massive struggle to get through this group against these teams. Certainly we’d like to be hitting the mark every time in terms of what we’re trying to do, but that’s not from a lack of effort or application. We need to give the players a massive amount of credit for the way they’ve carried themselves and put themselves into a position where they’re looking for a home quarter-final.”
