Solomons on alert for backlash

Edinburgh head coach Alan Solomons has warned his in-form players to beware a backlash from a revenge-seeking Munster side in tomorrow’s Heineken Cup Pool 6 finale at Thomond Park (12.45pm).

The Scottish side produced one of the shocks of the competition in round one last October when they made light of their dismal early-season league form to beat Munster 29-23 at Murrayfield.

The defeat stung Rob Penney’s side into a nine-match unbeaten run in all competitions and has seen Munster qualify for the Heineken Cup quarter-finals with a week to spare following a 20-7 win at Gloucester last weekend.
