O’Donnell belief knows no bounds

Munster’s players may be having trouble getting comfortable with the way Rob Penney wants them to play but his relentless positivity has filtered through to his squad.

Not for them the disappointment of a bonus point missed in Edinburgh but the celebration of a 26-17 away win in Europe that keeps alive hopes of qualification for the Heineken Cup quarter-finals ahead of this Sunday’s final pool game with Racing Metro.

It is all good and it can only get better, is the gist of Tommy O’Donnell’s outlook and no one who has watched the 25-year-old Munster back-rower at work this season should deny him that luxury.
