Backs to the future for Munster attack

One of the more remarkable points to consider about Munster’s upturn in attacking form over the last three weeks is the lack of gametime the province’s inside backs have had together.

Last Friday night’s five-try Heineken Champions Cup win at Gloucester was given added significance for the fact it was the first time this season head coach Johann van Graan had been able to field arguably his first-choice players together at scrum-half, fly-half and in midfield.
