Munster’s strong side capable of overcoming Sharks
- Updated: 31/05/2025
MUNSTER are on the threshold of reaching the BKT URC semi-final this afternoon. They have named their strongest starting side possible when to meet Hollywoodbets Sharks in Durban and they are certainly up for this mouth-watering battle which kicks off at 5.35 on TG4.
The home side will, of course, be favourites but there is something about Ian Costelloe’s named fifteen that rings of success. Munster have never feared South African opposition, even on their own soil, and we can certainly look forward to a huge effort from Tadhg Beirne’s boys.
