It is 18 months since the majority of the Munster squad were trapped in Cape Town, beset with a covid outbreak and eager to see the back of South Africa after their tour ended with an enforced period of quarantine.

The outlook on their return to the Mother City for the second time in six weeks is very different with a URC Grand Final to play against the Stormers at DHL Stadium and the warm memories of a pivotal victory in the same arena against the defending champions that Jack Crowley believes changed the province’s fortunes, sending them on a five-away game unbeaten run to Saturday’s decider.
