Friday night's trip to an Ulster side still hurting from their European heartbreak has been enough to focus Munster's minds after their European heroics

Stephen Archer has been around the Munster set-up long enough to know that while last Saturday’s Champions Cup win over Exeter was special, they won’t be long being taken down a peg if they take their eye off the ball.

But a trip to Belfast where they have not won since 2016 has focused their minds, not least as Ulster are ahead of them in the top four and the chasing pack are hot on Munster’s heel’s heading into the last three games before the URC knockout stages.
