Munster’s chances

So what are Munster’s chances? Very little, if you examine the strength and quality of the opposition in question. Given the recent disastrous form of some of the province’s main strike players, hopes are running at an all-time low.

However, Munster are at their strongest when their backs are to the wall and this competition will test them to the limit both mentally and physically. The fact that all four teams in this group are exceptionally strong means that every team  will succeed in taking points off each other. Revenge is a dish best served cold, and Kidney’s side are eager to repay both Wasps and Llanelli for elimination from this tournament in 2004 and 2007 respectively. If Munster can rebuild their impressive home form and grind out just one away victory, then that should be enough to see them top the group.

Whichever side manages to escape the clutches of this pool will find themselves very firmly in the driving seat for the remainder of the tournament.
