Did you know?
With an 8.15pm kick-off, Munster will fly to and from Glasgow on the same day. The province have had a one-day turnaround for two away fixtures in recent seasons (a 10-9 victory over Edinburgh at Myreside in 2017 and a 27-24 defeat to Glasgow in Kilmarnock in 2016).
Preview
Remarkably, Munster and Glasgow have not met since the memorable 2018 clash between the sides when Rory Scannell kicked a last-minute penalty to secure a dramatic victory at Thomond Park.
Unbeaten Munster make the trip to Scotstoun full of confidence having won each of their opening five fixtures, which represents their best start to a campaign since 2008.
Danny Wilson’s Warriors will be confident that they can secure the victory having had the chance to rest-up last weekend after their game against Dragons was postponed. News of that postponement was confirmed two weeks ago with Warriors using the opportunity to fully focus on Monday night’s fixture.
A very difficult run of fixtures for Warriors has seen them fall to away losses against Connacht, Ospreys and Ulster with Leinster securing a hard-fought win in Glasgow.
They have beaten Scarlets however and will be hoping to use the clash with Munster as a springboard to kick-start their season.
Scotstoun has proven a great fortress for Glasgow down through the years but Munster have secured three victories at the ground with Monday Night Rugby set to deliver another cracking encounter.
