James Hart ready to test the lungs in Bloemfontein

Scrum-half James Hart believes Munster’s two-match tour to South Africa is the perfect way to build up for the Champions Cup showdown with his former club Racing 92 on Sunday week.

The 26-year-old made 19 appearances for Racing last season before joining Munster on a two-year deal last summer.

He started in the 39-22 win over the Southern Kings in George on Saturday evening and is hoping to clock up more time when Munster face the Cheetahs tomorrow night in Bloemfontein.
