Team deserved to take Munster flak - Vickery

Gloucester captain Phil Vickery today insisted his Premiership leaders had taken collective responsibility for their Heineken Cup horror show in Limerick last weekend.

Individual players, including Henry Paul and Ludovic Mercier, were targeted for media criticism and by Cherry and Whites fans in a painful aftermath of the 33-6 defeat to Munster which ended Gloucester’s European hopes.
