A bit of Moss Keane spirit

Brian Moore believes that London Irish must find some added grit if they are to progress in Europe in The Daily Telegraph.

"For a start, both London Irish and Keane’s beloved Munster warmed up for a good 40 minutes on the pitch before kick-off.

"Keane had many anecdotes attributed to him. Most need no exaggeration, including one in which he was sitting in the changing room at Lansdowne Road lighting up, whereupon the trainer came in and told him to get on to the pitch for a warm-up. “Feck off,” was the reply, “I’m warm enough. I had the heater on in the car on the way”.

"It would have been delightful to see Keane grace a competition such as the Heineken Cup which, although the poorer cousin of football’s Champions League, is its superior in terms of the quality of pool games that precede its knockout stages."
