#RedArmyInSA | Munster Supporters Descend On Cape Town

26th May 2023 By The Editor

Munster supporters have continuously travelled in large numbers to support their team and this weekend’s URC Grand Final in Cape Town against the Stormers is no different.

Graham Rowntree’s side now go into an unprecedented sixth away game in-a-row which has already included two trips to South Africa and away games in Glasgow and Dublin.

Munster Rugby are truly grateful for the support which has been so evidently on display in Durban (twice), Cape Town, Glasgow and Dublin in recent weeks and other venues throughout the season, and of course, always at home.

Earlier this week, we created the #RedArmyInSA hashtag so supporters could connect with one another and share their journeys as they make the nearly 28,000 km round-trip from Munster to Cape Town.

We have been blown away by the response and we have no doubt that Munster supporters will make their voices heard in the sold-out 55,000 capacity DHL Stadium on Saturday evening.

See below for a selection of pictures of our supporters in Cape Town. #RedArmyInSA #SUAF
