WATCH: Johann van Graan on players putting up their hand and facing Saracens

Munster head into this weekend’s Champions Cup semi final on the back of an impressive comeback win over Benetton in Treviso on Friday.

Head coach Johann van Graan paid tribute to the players that took the field in Italy and admitted that several have put their hand up for selection against Saracens on Saturday.

Munster will be up against the form side in this season’s competition at the Ricoh Arena on Saturday and van Graan knows that his side will need to be at their best.

“They have been the team of the Champions Cup thus far. Haven’t lost a game yet, played some fantastic rugby, scored the most tries and have some world class players in their team.

“We are definitely up against a massive challenge away from home on Saturday afternoon.

“If you get into the last four of Europe it’s not supposed to be easy. We are looking forward to the challenge.”
