If the look on Michael Bradley's face on Friday evening betrayed his suspicion that somebody up there doesn't like him, then a glance at the RaboDirect PRO12 fixture list would have turned that nagging doubt into a cast-iron conviction in the mind of the Edinburgh coach.

It is not simply that Edinburgh's next match, on February 9, is an away trip to Munster, the Celtic rugby equivalent of a paddle in a piranha tank, rather that the journey is to Cork's Musgrave Park rather than Thomond Park in Limerick. Most coaches might prefer the more genteel surround-ings of Musgrave to the Thomond cauldron, but as a Corkman to his marrow the assignment stacks up as a form of cruel and unusual punishment for Bradley.
