"It adds to the challenge," says Corry. "We know exactly what that's like playing at Welford Road. This is what it's all about. Munster are a top-quality side from one to 15. It's a massive game and the reason why we train as hard as we do, go through all the preparation and play in competitions like this, is purely for games like we're going to have on Saturday.
"When it comes to the players, we don't take too much notice of records. That's one for the supporters and the media. I'm sure the Munster players will just be looking to get one more win. For our support, we're looking to go over there and win a game of rugby. Records aren't in our thoughts. We know it's a tough place to go and we know what a good crowd can do for you because we have that at Welford Road."
With interest in the showdown continuing to grow, 33-year-old Corry believes no-one involved in the Tigers set-up will need any extra incentive to chase a win which would take the two-time European champions into the quarter-finals.
"You use any motivation you can get, whether it's positive or negative. For a captain or a coach, it's a question of pulling each other back now so that when we do take the field on Saturday, we're all in the optimum frame of mind. You feel the difference when you're talking about an hour or two hours before kick-off when you can sense, just by being around the lads, how much this game means and how big it is.
"I've never played there but it's one of the places I've genuinely always wanted to play at, because of the tradition, the history and the way Munster play the game. I think their key values are very similar to ours in how much emphasis they put on team work and team spirit. I can't stress it enough that I've always wanted to play against Munster at Thomond Park in a game that really matters."
