Quotes corner

Munster scrum coach Graham Rowntree: “They actually play very well, they move the ball well.

"Their broken-field game is very good, they’ve got a good breakdown and they’ll be desperate won’t they, they’re after that win.

“Crikey, they nearly beat us over there at the end of January. That was a tight game and they were a handful.

"I remember at half-time in that game being quite, not emotional, but being quite lively with the lads in terms of some of our breakdown work because they made life hard for us and that’s what we’ll be expecting this Friday night.

“It will be a desperate team.

"We’ll deal with Leinster on Monday.

“This is an opportunity for guys to play. We’ve got a healthy squad, lots of competition and our selection will reflect that.”

Munster win: 1/7
