Performance still the key despite need to climb URC ladder - Mike Prendergast

For Prendergast, putting the right foundations in place to enable the changing mindsets and behaviours of the playing squad remains paramount. 

PERFORMANCE-FOCUSED: Attack Coach Mike Prendergast.

The joy of a one-off victory over an international touring side and the history made along the way will be replaced by the more pressing need for league points when Munster resume their BKT United Rugby Championship campaign at home to Connacht on Saturday.

Graham Rowntree’s side will be back on familiar home ground at Thomond Park rather than the GAA’s turf at Pairc Ui Chaoimh as the province get back down to competitive business for the first time in almost a month as they bid to climb the URC table after two wins from the opening five.
