'They've have taken some big scalps': Munster expecting tough test from Ospreys

Munster head coach Johann van Graan: Won't have things easy in Wales. 

Considerable appeal has been added to Munster’s final game in the opening block of games in the United Rugby Championship by Johann van Grann giving a first start to 21-year-old out-half Jack Crowley as they bid to maintain their winning start away to Ospreys (7.35pm).

Crowley has made five appearances off the bench so far for Munster but this is the first time the former Ireland U20 international will dictate matters from the outset, with Van Graan pairing him with Craig Casey in a half-back partnership which could become a mainstay in the years ahead.
