Anthony Foley seeks further signs of progression from Munster

The green shoots of recovery appear to have sprung at Munster if their performance at the weekend is any indication.

And no more emblematic of the improvement, after a miserable run of form, was the way the province’s pack slowly turned the tide at scrum-time during the 26-13 bonus-point win over Stade Francais last Saturday.

A final Champions Cup pool game of the season looms this Sunday when Anthony Foley’s men travel to winless Treviso and, though qualification for the quarter-finals is beyond them, bar some perfect mathematical storm, the head coach will be looking for further evidence from his players that the corner has finally been turned.
