Mike Haley would play every minute of every game if he could but the in-form Munster full-back believes the intense competition for his place on Johann van Graan’s teamsheet is helping him find his best form.

Munster look set to rotate their starting line-up over the next two weeks, starting with tomorrow night’s visit of Scarlets to Thomond Park, as head coach van Graan deliberates on his best XV to start March 27’s Guinness PRO14 final against defending champions Leinster.
