Munster jet off to La Manga

The Munster squad and management have embarked on a week-long training camp in warm weather at La Manga in Spain.

The 1400-acre resort is located near Murcia in southern Spain, in a region known as the Costa Cálida, or 'warm coast', thanks to its mild, year-round Mediterranean climate.

The Munster squad, coaches and fitness and medical staff will arrive there on Tuesday evening for a week of intense training, returning home on the Wednesday prior to their opening pre-season friendly against Leicester Tigers at Musgrave Park.
