Munster’s returning Ireland heroes will be expected to repeat their high-intensity Test performances when they pull on the red jersey for the first time since their Guinness Six Nations success.

Munster’s bid for the URC play-off places continues this Saturday night with a home game against Cardiff at Thomond Park and the defending champions will be boosted by the return of at least some of the quintet of Ireland stars who played such a prominent part in securing back-to-back championship titles in Dublin a fortnight ago.
