5. Because Axel says so!!
Speaking to media during the week, the Head Coach asked the fans to show their support for Munster in Thomond Park this Friday night.

“Hopefully we can build on the momentum from Treviso last weekend and take that forward. The most important thing for us is Zebre this weekend. We want an intimidating atmosphere, we want the supporters to come out and support us. We need that. We need to build a fortress there again. We have had a few back to back poor results there that we need to rectify and that has to happen between the white lines, but the help can come from the terraces and I think that’s important going forward, that we start to build momentum in Thomond Park.”
