Denis Leamy has backed Munster’s young tightheads Keynan Knox and Roman Salanoa to step up to the mark as their province enters a new era at Cardiff Arms Park on Saturday afternoon.

The defence coach, hired from Leinster by new boss Graham Rowntree alongside former Racing 92 attack coach Mike Prendergast this summer, represents another new chapter in Munster’s quest for a first trophy since 2011. That quests begins in Wales on Saturday against an equally hungry Cardiff side starved of success.
