Home semi-final the target as in-your-face display delights Cusiter

Glasgow Warriors skipper Chris Cusiter was well aware of the significance of this result. Apart altogether from it being Glasgow’s first win over Munster in Ireland since 2008, it also propelled them into fourth place in the RaboDirect Pro12 table.

With a game in hand over Munster and Ulster, three and five points adrift respectively, there’s a real possibility of upsetting the Irish dominance and securing a home semi-final. That ambition will become more realistic if they beat Scottish rivals Edinburgh in that additional fixture.

But the real joy for Cusiter for now must have been the way his side set about destroying an out-of-sorts Munster with a typical in-your-face Scottish performance. With a smile, Cusiter recalled how his team had been able to do a number on Munster, barely a week after the Heineken Cup specialists had done the exact same to Toulouse in a European quarter-final.
