WATCH: Van Graan on Exeter challenge and Carbery X factor

Munster head coach Johann van Graan is expecting another tough challenge when his side welcome Exeter Chiefs to Thomond Park on Saturday in a must win Champions Cup game.

The sides drew 10-10 when they last met in October and van Graan says that Exeter will bring what all top teams do when they travel away from home.

“They will stick to what they do well. Very good kicking game at nine and 10. Fantastic centres in terms of their work rate. Two wings that cause havoc.

“Then a forward pack that can work, is physical, that scrum and maul well and defend well. I’m under no illusions on what awaits us on Saturday afternoon.

“I think it will be a titanic battle and it might come down to the last play of the game, like it did the previous time.”
