Graham Rowntree hopes the GAA will sign off on a proposal to host a glamour tie between his Munster side and a South African XV at Páirc Uí Chaoimh in November.

The GAA’s Central Council will meet this Saturday to decide whether the fixture will be permitted to take place at the 45,000-capacity stadium. If rejected, it will instead take place in front of a maximum of 26,000 spectators at Thomond Park in Limerick.
