Johann van Graan’s side were drawn in Pool 2 of the competition alongside French champions Castres Olympique and English heavyweights Exeter Chiefs and Gloucester.

Munster kick off the Kearys Renault Series 2018 at Irish Independent Park tomorrow night as Declan Kidney’s London Irish visit Cork with the Munster squad to be named later today.
The game will see Munster play on the new modified 3G pitch at Irish Independent Park for the first time with the surface installed by Tralee-based company PST Sport over the summer.
The bedding-in process of the new pitch is now underway with two games to be played at the venue in the Kearys Renault Series 2018 over the next 10 days.
