Munster’s November win over South Africa XV has been credited with kick-starting their season under the new coaching team and they are hoping there will be further benefit from that game when they host the Lions this Friday evening in Cork.

Eleven of the players who started on that memorable night in Páirc Uí Chaoimh will again be on duty for this URC encounter a few kilometres away in Musgrave Park, with two more, Cian Hurley and Pa Campbell, again included among the replacements.
