Munster won’t roll over, says wary Cotter

Clermont Auvergne 36 Montpellier 14

History dictates that no team that has remained unbeaten through the pool stages since they’ve been home and away goes on to win the Heineken Cup. Munster will now be hoping the Heineken Cup hoodoo strikes in France in three weeks’ time.

Clermont bared their teeth against Montpellier with five tries in an emphatic 36-14 win that made it 58 wins in a row at Stade Marcel Michelin. Clearly the form team in Europe, they will want to make amends for their semi-final defeat to Leinster last year when they faceMunster.
