Boks can bank on Munster support

There are so many connections between Munster and Saturday’s finalists in the World Cup final that interest in the outcome on this side of the world could hardly be greater.

Not alone are Rassie Erasmus, Jacques Nienaber, Aled Walters and Felix Jones directly central to South Africa’s challenge for a third world title but, back in Munster, Johann van Graan, JP Ferreira, CJ Stander, Jean Kleyn, Arno Botha, Chris Cloete and Keynon Knox are all keeping their fingers crossed that the Springboks can pull off a shock result and put one over on England.
