Facing Leinster at GAA HQ excites Munster's Jeremy Loughman, who played Gaelic Football for Athy and says the URC win over Ospreys is the perfect stepping-stone
Croke Park is a special place for Jeremy Loughman - and he hopes it's where Munster show they are no one hit wonders.

Loughman was 11 when he was brought to the historic 2007 meeting of Ireland and England in the Six Nations at the GAA's HQ. "It was a special day," he recounts.
"Because I played Gah when I was younger, you see that. You go to the games there, you see how special it is and then you get a taste of it for those few massive games - you remember all those big games that were played there like the Leinster-Munster game, Ireland-England is obviously a very special one for me, the Leinster game there last year.
Saturday night's emphatic 23-0 bonus point victory over Ospreys in the wind and rain in Cork has set the bar for Graham Rowntree's men - and especially for the pack, after a dominant scrum performance. "Exactly, yeah, it shows that's what we are, that's what we do," Loughman stated.
