Tomás O’Leary expects ‘massive’ test from Zebre

There was a time when Munster would travel to Italy with a guaranteed points return against their lowly hosts.

Last week’s visit to Treviso yielded the maximum in their final European Rugby Champions Cup game of the season, and they’re back tomorrow for a Pro12 clash with Zebre.

But there is not a whiff of overconfidence, given Zebre’s impressive growing reputation with three wins in the Challenge Cup behind them, one of them away to Aviva Premiership side Worcester.
