Ring: Munster are like the All Blacks

It’s unlikely that the Cross Keys players needed a reminder of the daunting task awaiting them in Cork tonight but backs coach Mark Ring has provided one anyway by comparing Munster to the All Blacks.

The former Wales fly-half/centre said: “It’s a daunting task and having done a lot of the analysis, I would liken Munster to a lesser level All Blacks,” he said.

“They have a similar template to New Zealand and this will be a totally different challenge to the Pirates in the semi-final.
