Ulster clash major challenge for Munster

ULSTER may have slipped down the Celtic League table after losing the last three games, but they’ll still go all-out to protect an enviable home record against Munster at Ravenhill this afternoon (5.15pm).

Munster haven't won at Ravenhill since a 21-16 victory in the Interprovincial Championship in September 2000, and before that, wins in Belfast were few and far between.

This is a major challenge for Munster, whose side blends first and second choice players, but coach Alan Gaffney views it as a positive opportunity.
