WASPS 24 MUNSTER 23

The Heineken Cup Champions of 2007 started their 2008 tournament in style this weekend with a nail biting win against Munster. 21,500 fans piled into the Richo Stadium in Coventry to watch this epic match and they were not disappointed. It was ferocious right from the start and passions were obviously running high.

There were a huge number of Munster supporters who must have gone home numb, espeically as they were leading 13-20 at half time.

Danny Cipriani once again showed unbelievable maturity for his age by kicking 14 of Wasps 24 points. His compusure for a 20 year old was amazing and we look forward to seeing more of his skills as the tournament progresses.


Elsewhere, there were mixed results for the English Clubs - here's an update of where the Pool stages currently stand.
