Who the Fu*k is Reggie?
Federico Pucciariello, replacement prop for the injured Marcus Horan in Saturday’s trouncing of Leinster, when interview the week before the game was asked how he thought he would fair in his personal battle with Reggie Corrigan. His response was “who the fu@k is Reggie?”
Born in Rosario, Argentina, Federico played for Jockey Club Rosario before taking off for Europe where he played for Parma.
He moved on to Narbonne and in May 2001 played for them in the Challenge Cup final, a game the French lost to NEC Harlequins 42-33, after extra time, Federico's current clubmate Paul Burke deciding the outcome, kicking six penalties, three conversions and a drop-goal.
There followed a season in England's West Country with Gloucester before the Italian international moved back to France and three seasons with Bourgoin.
He joins Munster at the start of the 2005/2006 season, was named as a replacement for their trip to Welford Road for the pre-season warm-up match but ended up making his debut from the off when Tony Buckley was forced to withdraw on the morning of the game.
