Munster must get their basics right first

Heineken Cup Pool 1: Munster V Edinburgh

Well, everything if you’re Rob Penney and the memories of the worst performance under your command are still painfully fresh as you prepare Munster for a must-win Heineken Cup Pool 1 appointment against Edinburgh tomorrow (12.45pm).

There is nothing in the form book of late or at any time this season that points to a home victory tomorrow. Michael Bradley’s Edinburgh have been a mystery this season, a pale imitation of the side that reached the Heineken Cup semi-finals last term and one that has failed to even score a try in four rounds of pool action, let alone win a game.
