Murray Kinsella Reports from Thomond Park IN A CHANGE to the norm, Munster had their pre-match team meeting out on the pitch at Thomond Park this evening.
Having that send-off in mind was ideal for Munster this week as they managed to switch focus from the URC play-off race to something even more meaningful. “It was about Peter, it was about Conor, it was about Stevie. It was about what they’ve done for the club, how they deserve to be sent off. We had a meeting on the pitch tonight and Tadhg spoke so well and it really captured the whole week around putting a performance out there that reflected how much those lads meant to us and meant to the club.

Ultimately, they’ve done amazing things for Munster and Ireland as a nation. That’s what really struck me, you want to be team-mates with people who will work hard for you and just be good people. They’re down-to-earth and great lads.
With another home game to come against Benetton in Cork in the last regular-season round next weekend, Costello’s side should be able to seal their quarter-final spot and Champions Cup qualification for next season.
