Munster head coach Johann Van Graan has announced the squad he will be bringing to South Africa apart of URC double header.

A 29-man Munster squad will fly to South Africa on Saturday for their URC double-header against the Vodacom Bulls and the Emirates Lions.

Back-row Jack O’Donoghue will captain the squad on the tour with two Greencore Munster Rugby Academy players Alex Kendellen and Paddy Patterson both included.
