Niall Scannell vows Munster will 'come out swinging' in bid for redemption against Toulouse

Toulouse were the opponents seven years ago when Munster came off a Leinster defeat at Aviva Stadium and caught the Thomond Park backlash in a 47-28 quarter-final rampage

Niall Scannell has promised Munster will come out swinging against Toulouse this Saturday as the men in red seek immediate redemption for their league final defeat to Leinster.

When senior coach Stephen Larkham warned on Tuesday that the mental state of the Munster players was: “50/50, some of the guys are still struggling, some of them are just about over it” following last Saturday’s demoralising 16-6 PRO14 defeat to Leinster, he surely had hooker Scannell in the latter category.
