Murray says Munster have learned from video nasty

Conor Murray knows the Thomond Park cauldron can work in Munster’s favour tomorrow, it is coping with the tornado Toulouse will bring with them that concerns the Ireland scrum-half.

Toulouse’s first visit to Limerick may or may not unsettle the four-time champions, but the electric atmosphere provided by a sell-out Munster crowd is certain to spur on Murray and company in the home ranks during tomorrow’s Heineken Cup quarter-final.

The onus on the Reds, though, is not to give the French visitors an early foothold in this potentially titanic struggle by handing them possession too easily. That was Munster’s downfall last week in their top of the table league derby at Leinster as the southern province kicked ball away all too readily and Murray insists the lessons learned from that game, rammed home by coaches Rob Penney, Simon Mannix and Anthony Foley, have to be applied.
