Forwards coach Graham Rowntree reckons the depth in the Munster squad is the best he has seen since he moved to Limerick two years ago, and he’s hopeful that the battle for places will push standards higher.

The former England prop believes that the level of stock they have for each position is good and, after two opening-round wins, they can now build on their impressive start to the United Rugby Championship when they head to Wales to take on Scarlets on Sunday.
