Rob Kearney: To see Munster win will be ‘tough viewing’

Rob Kearney isn’t relishing the thought of watching Saturday’s Guinness PRO12 final but watch it he will.

Not every Irish player has had the stomach to catch local rivals competing for silverware. Numerous Leinster and Munster players have spoken in the past about how they avoided Heineken Cup finals when their near neighbours were involved.

Tales of trips to faraway places, or attendances at some barbecue or kid’s birthday party, on the days in question have abounded but Kearney feels everyone at Leinster needs to take in Munster’s meeting with Scarlets in their Aviva backyard.
