Dougall looking to build on positive start

Munster’s new openside flanker Sean Dougall is hopeful he and his teammates can push on from the impressive victory over Edinburgh on the first day of the season, when they face Treviso in Thomond Park on Friday (8pm).

Despite conceding three tries to a Tim Visser hat-trick, Munster came away from Murrayfield with a 23-18 victory thanks to tries from Ian Keatley and Luke O’Dea and five successful kicks at goal from Keatley.
