No more opening day slip-ups, insists Foley

European Champions Cup Pool 1

Munster have been warned there is no longer any margin for opening-day mishaps in Europe as they prepare to embark on their inaugural Champions Cup campaign this weekend.

Head coach Anthony Foley wants his province to break type from the traditional if unintentional Munster pattern of European qualification for the knockout rounds which saw the Reds back themselves into a corner only to produce a last round escape act to get out of the pool.
