Munster attack coach Mike Prendergast reckons that Ulster’s difficulties in South Africa last week will not leave them vulnerable this Saturday at Thomond Park and might actually galvanise them as both sides go in search of a win to complete this block of URC games.

Prendergast pointed out that when Munster ran into Covid difficulties last season in South Africa and had to field a massively understrength side against Wasps in the Champions Cup on their return home, they managed to turn the saga into a driving force and went on to score a magnificent win in Coventry.
