Munster will welcome Argentina to Limerick on Saturday in what will be the second clash between the two sides. The two sides met last in 1973 in Thomond Park and featured Munster current Branch President Brendan Foley with the game ending in a draw, 12-12, with Barry McGann scoring four penalties for the home side.
Munster are on a five game winning streak in the URC sitting in second place in the table just behind Stormers on scoring difference and will be hoping to continue their winning run against Los Pumas. Argentina will also take on Bristol Bears before their clashes against Wales, Scotland and England as part of their northern hemisphere tour.
Here's all you need to know ahead of the game.
The game will take place in Thomond Park in Limerick.
The match kicks off at 5pm on Saturday November 1.
Australia's Angus Gardner will be in charge for the clash. The IRFU's Peter Martin and Jack MacNeice will be the assistant referees with Mark Patton in the TMO hotseat.
Munster boss Clayton McMillan has two objectives heading into this Saturday’s clash with a touring Argentina XV at Thomond Park — building both the experience of his players and the bolstering the province’s reputation against international opposition.
Munster signed off on the first block of URC games with a fifth-successive victory last Saturday night as they saw off interprovincial rivals Connacht 17-15 in Limerick. Their next league fixture will be against fellow unbeaten side the Stormers back at Thomond Park on November 29, so a challenge match against a quality touring side represents a chance for McMillan to build depth and rotate a winning squad outside of the race for league points.
