Solomons keen on Amlin slot — and Munster scalp

As if Munster needed reminding they have a game on their hands in their final Heineken Cup game on Sunday, Edinburgh head coach Alan Solomons has stressed just how important an away victory at Thomond Park would be for the Scottish side.

It is not only Munster gunning for a bonus-point victory in Limerick this weekend as Rob Penney’s already-qualified side bid for a home quarter-final draw when the knockout stages get under way in April.

Edinburgh, too, thanks to back to back wins over Gloucester and Perpignan, respectively, are intent on playing European rugby beyond the pool stages and looking to secure a spot in the Amin Challenge Cup last eight.
