Tadhg Beirne: 'We’re in a must-win situation every game until the end of the season'

Beirne agreed with Ian Costello that Munster’s hard-fought 25-24 victory at La Rochelle had given his side energy and belief rather than depleting mental and physical energy levels.

Tadhg Beirne urged his Munster side to take the positives from the second half of their Champions Cup quarter-final into the final four “must-win” games of the URC regular season.

Munster exited Europe with a 47-29 last-eight defeat at Bordeaux-Bègles on Saturday but left a 32,215 sold out Stade Chaban-Delmas satisfied with the resolve shown to rally from 29-3 down after 33 minutes to score four tries against the competition’s top seeds.
