It has been a long road back from injury but Tadhg Beirne will begin his third season at Munster this Saturday against old club Scarlets having never felt better and highly ambitious for both silverware and Test recognition.

A little less than nine months on the sidelines following the ankle fracture in a Heineken Champions Cup pool match at Saracens in December 2019 came to end on August 30 with a try-scoring man of the match performance on his comeback in the Guinness PRO14 win over Connacht.
