Johann van Graan confident Munster have ‘flicked switch’

Munster’s acceptance they were outgunned by Saracens last weekend was an admission of the gulf in class between Johann van Graan’s side and Europe’s elite. But the province is still intent on ruling the roost closer to home.

Connacht visit Thomond Park tonight for the final round of the Guinness PRO14 league campaign with both interprovincial sides assured of a quarter-final berth in next month’s knockout stages. Yet while Connacht know they must travel to Ulster for the play-off opener next weekend, Munster need the victory this evening to give them a chance of progress straight into the semis.
