The Munstermen secured their
place in the Guinness PRO12
play-offs with a 30-19 victory over
Benetton Treviso last time out.
However, there is still plenty to play
for as Foley and co. will now be
looking to ensure that their final four
clash takes place in front of their
own fans.
They currently sit second, just one
point above provincial rivals Ulster.
And while refusing to worry too
much about Treviso clawing their
way back into the contest two
weekends ago, Foley knows his
side must improve if they are to
get one over on their opposition at
Kingspan Stadium:
“Ulster are a very good side and
they are a particularly hard side to
overcome up there, so we have to
come up with a strategy that allows
us to play and forces them to kick a
bit more.
“For Leinster (against Ulster) it was
very hard with a five day turnaround
after losing a European semi-final;
they threw everything they could at
it but again, preparation is where
it is at.
“We scored early against Treviso
and everyone would have assumed
that x, y and z would have
happened but you have to take into
account that Treviso had everything
to play for as well so it was a
stop-start game, which was very
frustrating at times.
“The players would feel that as
well. We didn’t get really into the
flow of the game, but we have five
points, we’re happy enough, we’re
sitting second and up in Ulster it
will be a different type of game -
it’s an interprovincial. That comes
packaged already.”
Munster head coach Anthony Foley is warning his troops
that they will have a fight on their hands when they travel to
take on Ulster this weekend.
