Munster Complete Preparations Today

Munster will complete their preparations today for the Heineken Cup quarter-final clash with Biarritz Olympique in San Sebastian on Sunday

Munster will complete their preparations today for the Heineken Cup quarter-final clash with Biarritz Olympique in San Sebastian on Sunday. Coach Alan Gaffney has no plans to introduce another player to his squad following the withdrawal yesterday of Brian Lima who suffered a quadricep muscle injury in training on Tuesday.

The Munster squad will assemble tomorrow morning in Shannon Airport prior to their mid-day departure for Biarritz. They will then travel by coach to the team hotel in San Sebastian.

The 41-3 win Biarritz recorded at the week-end over Stade Francais leaves them in second place in the French Championship just two points behind the leaders Bourgoin.

Meanwhile, Munster supporters are urged to send their team goodwill messages ahead of Sunday’s game. Those messages can be faxed today to the Branch offices in Cork (021 4323956) or Limerick (061 451392) or e-mail to info@munsterrugby.ie.
