Munster's Fineen Wycherley eager to show his worth ahead of long season ahead

"You have to take those opportunities and that’s the plan now against Gloucester this weekend. Hopefully I play this game and then URC 1, 2, 3 and on.”

When Mike Prendergast this week urged the Munster squad to make the most of the opportunities game time offers in this small pre-season window, the attack coach was preaching to the converted.

With seven Ireland internationals not due back in action until early October and the likes of Jean Kleyn, Dave Kilcoyne, Tom Ahern, Paddy Patterson and Edwin Edogbo set to return from injury in the coming weeks, Friday’s friendly against Gloucester at Cork’s Virgin Media Park presents that chance to impress for those players who have been training from day one of pre-season back on July 29.
