Mossy Lawler: 'We have to be at our best defensively, and making sure that we're disciplined'

"It's a huge challenge, Ravenhill is a great place to go and play, and it's an Irish derby."

Munster will travel to Ravenhill on Friday night warned that if they repeat the high penalty count they racked up at Castres last week they will be ruthlessly punished by a multi-threat Ulster attack on their return to URC action.

An off-form Champions Cup pool night in France saw Munster lose 16-14 to Castres, the concession of 17 penalties compounded error after error. Skills coach Mossy Lawler insisted this weekend’s derby rivals, a point and one place above them in the league standings in 10th place, could make his side pay if Munster did not clean up their act, despite Ulster having shipped more than 100 points to Toulouse and Bordeaux-Bègles combined in their last two European outings.
