Stephen Larkham pleased with Munster's form in testing times

'It’s something you have to adapt to and I think our guys are quite used to that and we did it quite well in that Edinburgh week'

'We had a big disruption going into the Edinburgh game with a couple of positive cases there and those guys have come through quite well'

Stephen Larkham praised Munster’s adaptability to get through “a lot of turmoil” to keep their unbeaten start to the season alive last time out as the province welcomed back a quartet of players from self-isolation ahead of Monday’s Guinness PRO14 clash with Cardiff Blues.

While Leinster will tonight have Dan Leavy in a matchday squad for the first time in 19 months when they welcome Zebre to the RDS, Munster are on a completely different schedule as they prepare for the league’s first Monday night game when they will host Conference B leaders and fellow unbeaten side Cardiff at Thomond Park, 16 days after their last outing.
