Warriors braced for battle

Glasgow coach Gregor Townsend believes his team are coming to Thomond Park at the right time and in the right frame of mind.

However, the former Scottish international yesterday paid tribute to Munster for reaching the Heineken Cup semi-final and admitted his side faces an uphill battle.

“Munster have been in excellent form this season and are now the sole representatives from the Pro12 in the Heineken Cup, so we’re under no illusions about the size of the task we face,” he said.
