Munster hope

Munster will take confidence from the fact that they overcame Ulster when the sides last played in Belfast only a few weeks ago.

"It seems to be back and forth against Ulster," said Stephen Larkham. "Every time they play at Thomond Park we get up and every time we play up there they get up so it’s certainly going to be a challenge going up there with the challenge and the crowd and all that.

"That’s the disappointing thing out of that Leinster game, we had our chance not to be in this position.

"But our focus against Ulster is very similar to the last time we played against them. They’ve got a very good set-piece, both scrum and maul, particularly maul, we are very conscious of that.

"They are very good at the breakdown, they’ve got a really good tackle-completion percentage, best in the competition so they are very good defensively. They’ve got a very good kicking game as well. "
