Once Shark-bitten, twice shy as the old saying doesn’t go. Nevertheless, Alex Kendellen believes Munster’s experience in losing to the aforementioned South African side a fortnight ago will stand to Graham Rowntree’s squad on their return to the country for the first of two crucial BKT URC clashes Saturday.

Munster will face the defending champions in Cape Town Saturday when they meet the Stormers at DHL Stadium knowing a first away victory against one of the former Super Rugby giants will go a long way to securing their place in not just next month’s play-offs but also qualification for next season’s Heineken Champions Cup.
