Mike Sherry hopes injury frustrations firmly in rear view mirror

It will take a while yet for that first-half no-show at Glasgow Warriors in round two to be erased from Munster’s collective memory banks but Mike Sherry believes the rebound against Ospreys a week later can provide the template for his province as their season ramps up over the next month or so.

A 49-13 hiding of the Ospreys in Cork last Friday, built on a blistering first 40 minutes that not only atoned for a lacklustre opening period at Scotstoun seven days earlier but delivered a bonus-point victory by the interval, has set Munster up for this week’s objective, a first away win of the Guinness PRO14 campaign at Cardiff Blues tomorrow evening at the Arms Park.
