Jaco Taute: ‘It’s going to be all-out warfare, it’s going to be crazy’

You get the impression from listening to Jaco Taute that the night before Munster meet Toulouse he might well be like an excited eight-year-old on Christmas Eve.

To say the South African centre is looking forward to this Saturday’s Champions Cup quarter-final at Thomond Park would be to undersell the matter. The 26-year-old loan signing from the Stormers is relishing the occasion and the prospect of a full-on collision of European heavyweights.

“I’m very excited, it’s going to be cool. I’ve had a few similar occasions and it’s going to be all-out warfare, I think. It’s a special game between Munster and Toulouse because there have been finals, there have been knock-outs so they will be coming here to get a scalp at home.
