Munster will need cool heads and calm temperaments at Thomond Park on Friday night if they are to keep their season alive in the white-hot intensity of their make-or-break URC derby with Ulster.

Mike Prendergast has seen the province’s bid for the end of season play-offs stutter at precisely the wrong moment as the hangover from last month’s Champions Cup quarter-final exit at Bordeaux-Begles has carried over into lacklustre URC performances and back-to-back league defeats to the Bulls and Cardiff.
