Latest Video: Johnston Previews Glasgow Clash

The Greencore Munster Academy’s David Johnston reflects on his recent PRO12 debut for the province and looks ahead to tomorrow night’s clash with Glasgow Warriors – Munster’s first PRO12 game of the season in Thomond Park.

Currently in year three of the academy, Johnston was a member of the Rockwell College squad that won the 2012 Munster Schools Senior Cup title and previously represented Munster at U19 and U20 levels as well as Ireland at U18 Schools and U19.

The Clonmel native joined the academy in Season 2013/14 and made his Munster ‘A’ debut in the B&I Cup quarter final against Leinster ‘A’ at Donnybrook in April 2014.

The following August he played for the senior team in pre-season action away to Gloucester and at home to London Irish and scored his first B&I Cup try against Moseley last December.

Earlier this season, the 21 year old featured in the same match-day squad as his younger brother and sub-academy player, Bill, in Munster's three opening pre-season games and went on to make his PRO12 debut, starting against Treviso at Irish Independent Park in Round 1.

A member of the travelling matchday 23 for Opsreys in Round 2, he returns to the starting line-up for tomorrow evening’s clash with Glasgow Warriors in Thomond Park – KO 6pm.
