The majority of Munster’s players and staff have finally touched down on Irish soil after their traumatic trip to South Africa where two planned URC games were abandoned due to the changing Covid climate.

Fourteen of the travelling party remain behind in Cape Town and in quarantine after the detection of numerous positive Covid cases earlier in the week with the province saying this evening that those concerned are “doing well”.
