Munster scored two great tries from current Cork senior hurler Darren Sweetnam and Rob Jermyn last week and will again be looking for their back line to repeat another performance. The pack was well marshalled by skipper John Fitzgerald and if the pack can hold their own in the forward exchanges then Munster have the ability to cause an upset.
