After the disappointments of last season, Munster stars Paul O’Connell, Ronan O’Gara and Denis Leamy are keen to redress the balance next time round.
The Ireland trio were speaking at the launch of the new alternative Munster playing kit, which will see the province take to the field in a unique black and green strip for the first time in a pre-season friendly against Leicester Tigers on 20 August.
Looking ahead to the new season, out half Ronan O’Gara believes the return to fitness of a host of key players – including O’Connell and Leamy – will be a massive boost to Tony McGahan’s side.
He said, “With fellas coming back from injury they’ll be like new signings – Leamy, Donnacha Ryan, Wian du Preez, who’s kind of like a new signing, will be a big player for us. And Paul O’Connell – I think we all remember him.”
