Munster bid to tame Titans

Bristish and Irish Cup holders Munster face a major test of character when they take on Rotherham Titans at Clifton Lane this afternoon (2pm) with an experimental side.

Both sides are undefeated after two matches, but the South Yorkshire team lead Munster at the top of pool 7 by a bonus point.

With a format identical to the Heineken Cup, this is the first of two back-to-back fixtures, and, in Munster’s case, is of crucial importance. They will want to win of course to remain in control of their own destiny but a losing bonus point would put them four points behind with a return fixture in Cork.
