Munster rugby announce earlier kick-off time

Due to the adverse weather conditions, Munster rugby have decided to move the kick-off time for Saturday’s Magners League clash against Cardiff Blues at Thomond Park Stadium from 7.30pm to the new time of 5pm.

Paul O’Connell is expected to feature in the match day squad for the first time in almost 250 days while Tomás O’Leary and Barry Murphy, who have both recovered from lengthy injury spells, will feature also.
