Favourites wary of Munster’s big match experience

French hooker Benjamin Kayser, who is trying to reach a Heineken Cup final with a third club, believes that Munster’s experience in the competition will ensure that Clermont will not underestimate them in tomorrow’s semi-final.

The 28-year-old, who knows a thing or two about pain in this competition having lost finals playing for Stade Francais and Leicester, says they expect a massive battle with Munster.

“The name is enough to give motivation. They have a lot of experience and we know the level of pressure they can put on a team, especially in the ruck area, in the lineouts and always at the fringe of being penalised and putting pressure on teams.
