Anthony Foley says players must measure up to training efforts

Munster stand once more on Champions Cup brink, psychologically at least.

There may be 20 points still available to them in this disrupted Pool 4 campaign but head coach Anthony Foley is preparing his players for a game at Leicester’s Welford Road tomorrow they dare not lose. He is quite right.

A second defeat to the Tigers in eight days may not send Munster crashing out of Europe, they will still have three games left to play, with a back-to-back series against Stade Francais to negotiate in the new year followed by a trip to Treviso in round six.
