Munster confront English rivals Leicester Tigers at Welford Road tonight (7.30pm) with the twin boost of having Marcus Horan and Donnacha Ryan available as coach Tony McGahan cranks up his team’s challenge for the new season.

So far, McGahan’s charges have enjoyed a 100% record after wins over Sale Sharks and London Irish, with young talent emerging and promising individual and team performances.
