'We're reared on cup rugby': Jeopardy suits Munster says Denis Leamy

Edwin Edogbo is closing on a return for Munster but Leamy revealed his first minutes on the pitch will come in an A game rather than against Benetton on Friday.

Denis Leamy is confident his players can continue being cup rugby mentality monsters when Munster bid to reach the URC play-offs in their final game of the regular season at home to Benetton in Cork this Friday night.

The 2023 champions came up with a big performance when it mattered last Friday at Thomond Park when they delivered a bonus-point victory over derby rivals Ulster to keep their season alive but the job is only half done. To reach the knockout rounds and qualify for next season’s Champions Cup, Munster must win again to be certain or face an anxious wait across the rest of the weekend in the hope they are not the only team to have fluffed their lines.
