Munster face huge task in Tiger's den
Munster will have to go one better than last year's monumental play-off run if they are to finally annex the Heineken European Cup at Lansdowne Road in late May.
Against the odds, they forged wins against Stade Francais (16-14) and Castres (25-17) in the respective quarter-final and semi-final in France.
Now, they must travel into the Tiger's den for an awesome ask against Leicester, to settle a year-old score from the 2002 final, on Sunday.
Of course, Munster coach Alan Gaffney has already been on the receiving end at Welford Road.
Leinster, with Gaffney as assistant coach to Matt Williams, were knocked out of last year's quarter-final.
Gaffney said: "The game against Leicester is a great challenge, it's a game the boys are looking forward to. Leicester may not have performed as well as normally in the Premiership this year but when you look at their side you understand they are very very strong.
"They have four of the starting eight from the English pack, another on the bench and then there's Josh Kronfeld, Darren Garforth and Martin Corry, so it's a very strong side. Healy is back, so we know the challenge we have but it's one we're looking forward to with relish."
