O’Mahony ready for must win Perpignan game

HEINEKEN CUP POOL SIX:

With that dead leg came a deep sense of bitterness at letting slip a 19-0 lead over the world champions and then losing the Test with the last kick from All Blacks fly-half Aaron Cruden as well as the heartening feeling of having taken the best team on the rugby planet to their limit.

Now back with the province he captains, and recovered from the anatomical trauma of the day at the Aviva Stadium, the back-rower will lead Munster into their must-win Heineken Cup clash with Pool 6 leaders Perpignan on Sunday looking to use the more emotive baggage from the 24-22 reverse for a more positive outcome at Thomond Park
