Hurley: We can’t allow dangermen to counter-attack

DENIS HURLEY knows the Northampton Saints back three pose a threat — but he isn’t intimidated.

Back in his favoured number 15 jersey, Hurley has earned praise from coaches and players for his recent contribution and he aims to help Johne Murphy and Simon Zebo make their own mark on today’s tie.

Acknowledging the Northampton potential to strike from deep, with Ben Foden, Jamie Elliott and Vasily Artemyev all dangerous given space, Hurley will be looking for Munster to repeat what they achieved in round one at Thomond Park.
