Waterford Set For SEAT Challenge

Munster will play their home pre-season game against London Irish at the Waterford RSC in The SEAT Challenge on Friday August 29th, ko 7.30pm

The fixture continues a tradition of welcoming the Exiles to the province and sees Munster play their pre-season game in Waterford for the first time.

Both teams have met in pre-season action for three of the last four seasons with Munster taking the spoils on two occasions. Always a keenly contested fight, the game will be Munster’s first home encounter under new Head Coach Anthony Foley and his management team.

As per usual it’s expected that teams will field a mixture of experience and youth as they blood new talent ahead of competitive league action in September.

The game will be Munster’s second of the pre-season schedule, with the province travelling to play Gloucester Rugby at Kingsholm on Saturday August 23rd.

The 5800 capacity stadium (3000 seated) has previously held Munster A games against Llanelli and Plymouth Albion in the British and Irish Cup.
