Foley unleashes double trouble on Ulster

May’s 19-17 reverse to the northerners would have hurt quite enough for any Munster outfit in their Limerick home but the fact Rob Penney’s men went down to a second-string Ulster outfit saving their big guns for the following week’s play-off semi-final against Leinster made the defeat a low point of the campaign.

This evening sees both teams under new management from last spring with Foley and Neil Doak, formerly a Wolfhounds coaching ticket, now rival head coaches in their debut seasons as the third-placed Guinness Pro12 team welcomes the team currently in second after eight matches.
