WATCH: Van Graan on team selection for Edinburgh and Carbery fitness

Munster head into what could be a season defining clash when they face Edinburgh in the Champions Cup quarter final at Murrayfield on Saturday.

Head coach Johann van Graan was speaking at the High Performance Centre in UL this morning and isn’t sugar coating the importance of the game.

“You work hard to get out of your pool, into a quarter final and it will be a massive challenge and one that we are looking forward to very much.

“You want to play in quarter finals and to get to a semi final you have to get to a quarter final.

“It’s knockout now. Hopefully, we can prepare well for the week and then Saturday will be a big battle.”

The Munster head coach also spoke about team selection for the game and the fitness of out-half Joey Carbery. Click below to watch the full interview.
