Rory Scannell says discipline and physicality key to success

The last time Munster played Castres, Rory Scannell was a Leaving Certificate student watching from his sofa as Ronan O’Gara sent the game-winning drop goal between the posts. 

This Sunday Scannell will be anchoring his province’s midfield as the men in red begin their 23rd season in Europe.

The game has moved on, even since that November day in 2011, when O’Gara’s last-minute drop, a week on from his heroic kick against Northampton Saints at Thomond Park, sealed a 27-24 victory at Stade Ernest Wallon in Toulouse.
