Mafi set to play pressure game

Former Munster centre Lifeimi Mafi said there has been a big fallout in Perpignan from Sunday’s loss at Thomond Park and they were fired up for revenge.

Mafi missed the game through suspension and admitted it will be very difficult playing against Munster, having made 144 appearances during his six years there. But he will put friendships to one side at Stade Aime Giral this afternoon as Perpignan bid to keep their Heineken Cup hopes alive.

“It was disappointing to miss out having played there for six seasons, having played in the opening of Thomond Park, I have got a lot of memories there so to miss out was disappointing but I just concentrated on looking forward to this game,” he said.
