We are firmly at the business end of the rugby season and Munster are well positioned to make another run at the URC title. Graham Rowntree's side shocked Leinster in last year's semi-final at the Aviva Stadium en route to victory and snatched the trophy in unexpected fashion. Fast forward a year and they are the in-form team, finishing top of the league standings.
The side are playing brilliant rugby this side of the new year, including putting in a brilliant shift when in South Africa. But the real challenge begins now as they take on Ospreys in their URC quarter-final clash. The Welsh outfit have had an up-and-down year but snatched the eighth and final playoff spot.
