John Hodnett was one of the best performers in Castres but he’s only looking ahead.
Murray Kinsella Reports from Castres ON ANOTHER NIGHT when Munster might have edged over the line against Castres , openside flanker John Hodnett would probably have been named player of the match.
As his team-mates filtered past towards the team bus, Hodnett tried to make sense of a frustrating night that saw Munster miss a big opportunity to land a crucial away win that would have made the passage into the Champions Cup knock-out stages much clearer. Last season, Munster got into the knock-out stages having won just once in their pool, gaining nine match points in total, while French side Racing also advanced with a single win and only eight match points.
“We have a really important game next week again in the URC. We need to start getting up that table again. All the focus is on next week really.”
