As player coach Mike Prendergast stressed after Saturday’s 21-15 defeat of Garryowen at Clifford Park, Munsters have still to play the two teams ahead of them in the table, St Mary’s College (on the last day of the campaign at Templeville Road) and Clontarf at Clifford Park.

The Dublin sides are currently on 45 points, two ahead of Munsters, with the destination of the title now looking a three horse race.
