Munster ready to give trio perfect Thomond Park send-off

A final bow for Paris-bound Simon Zebo and fellow departees Robin Copeland and Gerbrandt Grobler will provide emotion enough for supporters who two weeks ago witnessed their side’s Champions Cup semi-final exit in Bordeaux. Revisiting darker emotions than a fond au revoir in Limerick will not be entertained by the home fans.
And you can be sure those feelings are shared in the Munster dressing room when the Reds return to win or go home territory as the Guinness PRO14 play-offs get underway with this semi-final qualifier. As the hosts, Conference A runners-up, and Conference B’s third-place finishers from the Scottish capital prepare to go head to head, it is clear that Munster’s main motivation this afternoon is to atone for their shortcomings in those opening 25 minutes against Racing 92 in Stade Chaban-Delmas.
