spreys need quick start in Heineken Cup says John Devereux

Former Lions and Wales centre strongman John Devereux believes the ambitious spreys who have been open in stating their goal is to become the first Welsh team to conquer Europe might not even contend unless they rid themselves of their reputation as slow pool starters. Devereux said: “Going to Leicester is always difficult for any side not many win there but the spreys need to come up with the goods” said the former dual-code international. “Generating momentum is the key in competitions like the Heineken Cup. If the spreys can’t it could be all over for them the following weekend because they host Clermont Auvergne. “Clermont reached the final of the French Championship last season losing to Perpignan and are potentially one of the best teams in Europe. “I’m sure they will come to Swansea buzzing on the back of a bonus-point victory over Italian minnows Viadana in the opening round and confident of doing a number on the spreys. ”And Devereux pointed out that the spreys being below strength will hardly aid their cause.
