Gaffney and Munster bid for revenge

Alan Gaffney is in his first season as Munster’s Director of Rugby and coach – but, just like his players, he suffered at Leicester hands during the 2001 / 2002 tournament.

For the Munster players it was the heartbreak of a 15-9 Millennium Stadium defeat in the final last May. For Gaffney – then the Leinster assistant coach – it was the pain of a 29-18 quarter-final defeat at Welford Road.
