Munster’s arrival in South Africa this week stands in stark contrast to the unsettled circumstances they faced during last year’s ill-fated trip.

Towards the end of 2021, Munster found themselves stranded in South Africa after their tour was dramatically cut short following the detection of the Omicron variant, which also led to the postponement of scheduled United Rugby Championship games against the Bulls and Lions.
