Clayton McMillan is looking forward to unleashing “big lump” Edwin Edogbo when Munster welcome URC leaders the Stormers to Thomond Park on Saturday.

Both the head coach and Edogbo’s fellow young forward Brian Gleeson have spoken of the 6ft 5ins, 19st forward’s potential in recent days, with McMillan naming the 22-year-old on the bench in his first game since sustaining a concussion in the derby victory over Leinster in mid-October. That was the Cobh lock’s first start and second appearance since returning from a ruptured Achilles that had sidelined him since December 2023 but the belief in the heights he could reach remain sky high.
