Jean Kleyn bullish as Munster prepare for Exeter trip

Jean Kleyn is adamant Munster can hit the ground running in Europe when they open the new Heineken Champions Cup campaign at Exeter Chiefs on Saturday.

The province may still be without an away win in the PRO14 this season after losses in Glasgow, Cardiff and at Leinster but the South African lock is confident that his team’s development over the past 12 months and a first pre-season under head coach Johann van Graan is on the brink of paying dividends.
