Neil hopes Back-hander is in the past

Neil Back does not expect Munster to be holding grudges despite him supplying rugby’s version of Maradona’s “Hand of God” to deny Munster victory in last year’s Heineken Cup final.

Back’s illegal intervention at a scrum, unspotted by the referee although it was picked up by television, helped Leicester hold out under pressure in the closing stages last year as they beat Munster 15-9 at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.
