Munster set for South African return in March

URC confirm rescheduled calendar with postponed fixtures from end of November and early December now moved to March 11-12 and March 18-19.

Munster will have to return to South Africa in March to complete the fixtures postponed on their ill-fated United Rugby Championship trip to the country last month.

A number of players and staff members from that tour are only set to emerge from self-isolation today having tested positive for Covid-19 while trying to depart Cape Town following the postponement of games against the Bulls and Lions prompted by the discovery of the Omicron variant in South Africa.
