James Tracy on Thomond Park: ‘I remember getting heckled when I wasn’t even playing’

Leinster are poised to present a batch of fresh and inexperienced faces when they take on Munster this weekend but James Tracy won’t be among the boys in blue experiencing Thomond Park for the first time.

The hooker has made the festive trip to Limerick on each of the last four seasons, winning two and losing another pair. He understood just how intimidating the place can be long before he ever threw a pass or made a tackle there.
