Munster aim to right the wrongs of last week

Defeat is painful and Munster have been hurting all week as they prepare to right the wrongs of last weekend’s home stumble to Cardiff Blues in their Guinness Pro12 trip to Newport Gwent Dragons today (5:15pm).

The simmering anger from the 24-23 reverse in Cork produced spikily intense training sessions this week.

Add that to director of rugby Rassie Erasmus’s ability to call on returning internationals Conor Murray and Keith Earls and give first starts to fellow Irish summer tourists Donnacha Ryan and CJ Stander and it indicates that mission should be accomplished at Rodney Parade.
