Craig Casey will be forgiven for his exuberance on live television on Saturday night when he declared this is the season that Munster’s trophy drought will end.

The livewire scrum-half had just received his man-of-the-match award from captain Peter O’Mahony following a try-scoring performance in the season-opening United Rugby Championship trouncing of the Sharks.
