With that amount of international experience in the team, it is unsurprising that Munster assistant coach Graham Rowntree is laughing off any suggestion that his team are rank outsiders based on the facts of a long period of coming second against their arch rivals as well as the shorter turn-around time from their last game. Leinster had a six-day turn-around, Munster just five going into Friday night’s clash.
“The short turn-around is irrelevant now because we are match hardened. We’ve planned for two good games and now we are ready for another one.”
