Munster look for top showing against Ulster

Just short of 10 months ago, Munster pulled off one of the most important wins of their 2015/16 season when they beat Ulster by two points (9-7) in the Guinness PRO12 at Kingspan Stadium. 

It wasn’t the prettiest of games but it helped Munster end a run of five successive defeats and provided the springboard for a successful challenge for qualification in this season’s European Cup.

If tonight’s rematch at the Kingspan doesn’t carry quite the same degree of urgency, it is important for the squad to produce a similarly resilient performance, if only to convince the sceptics they can build on last week’s brilliance against Glasgow Warriors.
