The Munster boss says they welcome the challenge of travelling to take on the Sharks:
Murray Kinsella Reports from Stade Ernest-Wallon MUNSTER BOSS GRAHAM Rowntree said his men will accept the challenge of travelling in the Champions Cup round of 16, having been drawn away to the Sharks in South Africa.
Munster host Glasgow in the URC the weekend before they visit the Sharks, with Rowntree confirming that they’re likely to travel to South Africa midweek before the Champions Cup clash. “To me, that’s what makes a class team – what you do on the road, winning away from home. We’ve had a couple of good moments there recently. Edinburgh, Ulster, today would have been a nice feather in the cap but wherever we go, we’ll be well prepped.”
Rowntree’s men haven’t been flawless over recent months but he is pleased that teams are finding it difficult to put them away even when they do lose.
