British and Irish Cup Squad

Munster kick off the weekend action in Garryowen FC on Friday night as they take on Esher RFC in the British and Irish Cup, ko 7.30pm.

Munster remain in second place in Pool B of the B&I Cup after last weekend's one point victory away to Nottingham, and need to continue their winning form if they hope to advance to the knock-out stages as one of the top two placings. 

Esher and Munster met in a challenge game last season at Molesey Road and Munster Head Coach Anthony Foley is only too aware of the challenge that is in store on Friday night. 

“Last time we played at home in the B&I Cup we lost, so there can be no room whatsoever for complacency.  As an English Championship side with a strong pack we’re in store for a tough physical battle and look forward to it.  We played them last season so we have some knowledge of what they are capable of, and nothing has changed in that we still have to go out and win all our games.  We hope that the local supporters will come out in numbers and look at some of the younger Munster players in action.”
