The Munster Rugby head coach is excited about the future with a lot of young talent coming through and is expecting a tough game in Wales at the weekend.

Munster face over a month without their international players and will be looking to maintain pressure on their chase for a home semi final as they look to reel in the Glasgow Warriors who the play in round 16.

It all starts this weekend as Glasgow entertain the 3rd placed Cheetahs at Scotstoun this evening while Muster make the short hop over to Cardiff for Saturday’s game.

The Munster head coach is taking nothing for granted and is expecting a tough challenge:

“We did our analysis on Cardiff and they are a very good rugby team with a very good kicking game – I would say one of the best in the Pro14 – and they put you under a lot of pressure.”
