Johann van Graan admits Munster face a challenge in fronting up for their first European game of the season, away to Wasps, just a week after they returning from a two-game URC trip to South Africa.

The province’s games, against the Vodacom Bulls and the Emirates Lions, will both be played at altitude at the end of November and start of December. The Heineken Champions Cup encounter with Wasps will kick off eight days after the second of them.
