Shame it won't happen as the if we did manage to get that far, we'd need Leicester Tigers to be the opposition, any other team and we'd be away.

Great news that it is greenlit regardless.
An ERC semi in PuC would be some occasion.
Hopefully Munster can make it happen in the next few years.

Donnelly's a good prop but overall we'll have a tough time in the scrum. Still, that's otherwise a handy team.
