Munster must get mindset right for Glasgow clash, insists Nankivell

Munster return to URC action at defending champions Glasgow Warriors this Friday night and will be looking to rebound from a chastening home loss to Edinburgh as they bid to stay alive in the hunt for an end of season play-off berth.

The 38-24 scoreline in defeat at Cork’s Virgin Media Park on February 28 tells only half the story as Munster were blitzed by a hungrier and sharper Edinburgh side in a one-sided first half which left the home team trailing 29-7 at half-time, the Scots having secured a try bonus point inside 39 minutes.
