Coughlan says Reds’ meltdown ‘unacceptable’

Munster’s stand-in skipper James Coughlan expects the squad to face a nasty video session this morning.

Training will likely be brutal but the physical pain will hardly compare to the mental torture they will have to go through beforehand, as Rob Penney and his coaching staff remind the players just how bad they played at Thomond Park on Saturday night.

Coughlan is bracing himself for the barrage that’s likely to come the players’ way after what could yet turn out to be a hugely financially damaging loss to Glasgow given their chance of hosting a home semi-final or, indeed, even a place in the knock-out stage of the RaboDirect Pro12 tournament, is now at risk.
