Preview
This will be the first-ever competitive meeting of Munster and the Stormers and we are set for another fierce contest at Thomond Park.
There was a fantastic atmosphere at last week’s opener against Sharks and we are all set for another big crowd.
The Stormers were in Treviso for their opening game and despite leading for the majority, fell to a narrow 22-18 defeat to Benetton.
The side, who line out as DHL Western Province in the Currie Cup, reached the semi-final stage of this year’s competition with eventual winners, the Bulls, defeating them at Loftus Versfeld.
