Varley: Players should worry after Ulster debacle

Munster’s underperforming players should be afraid for their places ahead of Friday night’s RaboDirect Pro12 semi-final in Glasgow, says stand-in captain, Damien Varley.

Rob Penney’s side tuned up for the league play-offs in the worst possible fashion at Thomond Park on Saturday night, as they crashed to a 19-17 defeat to a second-string Ulster, turning in their worst performance of the season.

It led head coach Penney to imply there could be changes to his line-up after a side close to full-strength were humbled on home turf in his final home game before departing for Japan at the end of the season.
