Niall Scannell enjoying the positive vibes at Munster

Niall Scannell spoke for the entire Munster dressing room when he derided descriptions of the Leinster team they defeated on Monday evening as second string.

To a man, Munster players agreed this is a Leinster squad of remarkable depth and the side they overcame 29-17 would have been more than a match for most others in the Guinness PRO12 competition.

“Seven of their pack are internationals and there were some big physical men there,” declared a man who has played in every Munster match this season.
