'Munster rugby has always been famous for a forward-dominated style and it seems that every coach that comes in seems to think they have some kind of obligation to maintain this.'

AT this stage, the main issue is whether Munster and Connacht will even get to kick a ball in tomorrow’s scheduled round nine clash in the United Rugby Championship.

Last week I had just finished the preview to Munster-Leinster when the news broke that the St Stephen’s Day game had to be cancelled because of a Covid outbreak in the Leinster camp.
