No let up for Munster as they face 'one of the toughest places in the world to play rugby'

Munster are hoping a Sunday night team meeting in Cape Town and the return of Jack Crowley, Craig Casey and Jeremy Loughman can reignite the tourists in the wake of a 45-0 hammering at the Sharks ahead of this Saturday’s URC clash with the Bulls.

The province’s two-match trip to South Africa got off to the worst possible start last Saturday as they were outmuscled and outclassed in Durban as the Sharks produced their best performance of the season to boost their own play-off hopes with a seven-try thumping at Kings Park.
