Wood expects slender Munster win

Former Ireland and Munster hooker Keith Wood spoke to Newstalk Breakfast this morning ahead of tonight's clash between Munster and Saracens in the European Rugby Champions Cup at Thomand Park, and he believes Munster have a slight edge. 

Last week the home side were able to overcome a determined and energetic Sale side who led 23-7 at the interval. Having shown much more aggression in the second half the decisive moment came 54 seconds after the clock went red when in true Munster fashion Ian Keatley snatched victory with a drop goal. Meanwhile Saracens were able to gain a bonus point 30-23 victory over French giants Clermont at Allianz Park, with two tries piece from Chris Ashton and David Strettle.

Woods admitted that there may be momentum behind Munster but admits they would not have been overly "happy" with last weeks performance. He went on to praise Saracens Charlie Hodgson for his performance last weekend but believes Munster will edge tonight's encounter.

Keith Wood will be commentating on tonight's match live on Newstalk on Off the Ball with kick-off at 7:45.
