When these two sides met here last season, it was the travelling Munster side that clinched a 16-9 victory. Stay tuned for live updates as we await kick off

Munster come into this fixture on the back of some fine European form, having drawn in Castres and winning in Thomond against Racing. Similarly, Connacht have had an impressive run in the Challenge Cup, having won 2/2.

Pardon the pun

Will Bundee Aki reunite with Henshaw in the Irish Centre? A strong showing tonight could put him front and centre

Simon will have been quite aware that his decision to go to France would put an end to his international career. I am sure that we all wish him the best fortunes but there is absolutely no justification in Joe continuing to select him as we get down to the serious business of preparing for the next World Cup.
Of course it means that we can enjoy so much more of him in our jersey for the rest of this season.

Nah Zebo won't be used for Japan. Better to give loyal players the opportunity to get minutes in internationals.

The IRFU were a bit too quick off the mark about Simon Zebo...hope he shows them what they'll be missing.
