Cockerill says Munster must up attacking game

As a player and a coach at the highest level, Richard Cockerill has been there, done that and bought the extra large t-shirts.

So when the Edinburgh head coach says Munster will have to up their attacking game to beat a Leinster team with more firepower than his own, attention should be paid.

Edinburgh came to Thomond Park on Saturday and put the frighteners on Munster, running the home side too close for comfort in their Guinness PRO14 quarter-final, losing 20-16 but only conceding victory with the clock ticking 82 minutes, a stolen lineout denying them metres from the home try-line as they chased a winning score.
