'I’ve always wanted to come back' - Malakai Fekitoa feeling at home in red

Munster take on London Irish at Musgrave Park tonight. 

SOUTHERN COMFORT: Malakai Fekitoa and Simon Zebo share a joke during a Munster rugby squad training session at the University of Limerick.

Malakai Fekitoa has yet to experience Thomond Park as a Munster player but the province’s summer recruit is no stranger to the fizz and crackle of the biggest European nights at the Limerick venue.

The former All Black hadn’t long traded life with the Highlanders for a spell on the Cote d’Azur with Toulon when he featured in a famous 2018 quarter-final at the old ground that seemed to be going their way until Andrew Conway scored a try for the ages.
