In the Irish Independent Hugh Farrelly talks to Munster hooker Jerry Flannery about the Irish province's prospects in the Heineken Cup this year.
Jerry Flannery, who has been forced to watch his province's progress from the sidelines as he continues his recovery from the calf injury that forced him out of the World Cup, believes the fact that Munster are not being talked up is working in their favour.
"No one is going, 'Munster have this thing wrapped up', even with four wins from four," said the hooker. "People are saying, 'Munster have had a good start but we are still not sure about them', which is a good place for us.
"I look back on past seasons, particularly when we won it in 2006 and '08, and it was never a case of it being there for us to lose.
"We take some criticism every year and most of the time it is deserved, but we just have to look at the bigger picture. It has been a fantastic start and there are so many younger, newer guys coming into the squad too."
