The permutations for the United Rugby Championship play-offs can wait as far as Johann van Graan is concerned, all that matters to Munster is beating Leinster in Dublin on Saturday and securing a home quarter-final draw.

Almost a year on from the Munster head coach targeting a home draw in the URC play-offs at the start of the 2021-22 campaign, van Graan’s squad will go into the final round of regular-season games still fighting tooth and nail with four other clubs for the right to play their last-eight match at Thomond Park.
