Australia played Munster in musgrave park in cork.So much has changed in the fortunes of the Munster team.Twice European champions and not too mention the story of the professional era of club rugby. That day in 1992 I pleaded with my mother to write me a note to get out of school and to the game I went up the tranmore road.It was a honour to be standing in the Terrance that day and as the years past I now feel I was part of one of the last great days in Irish amateur rugby. A lot has changed for Munster rugby they as a team our far removed from the team of 92,yet the philosophy is the same (stand up and fight) for. Club and provience. What most teams don't understand is that even though the game turned professional the Munster kept its principal, the people's club. Unlike other big European teams Munster still belongs too its people . It puts its fans first, each player knows they our holding the Jersey till the next player comes along. Munster is for the people by the people .When Australia come to thomand park they will be very much aware of the story of Munster rugby and for the battle in store Munster. Maybe the one true test the wallibies will remember from their northern hemisphere visit this year.The game may have changed a lot since my visit that cold day in 1992 yet the passion will no doubt be the same. Indeed Munster rugby will again be the winner as the European powerhouse takes center stage among rugby's elite.
