Munster Rugby v Connacht Rugby Match Programme
United Rugby Championship Round 4 | We get the lowdown on our Interprovincial opposition Connacht Rugby, and hear from JP Ferreira and Jean Kleyn ahead of the game. There's also a look back on the Munster Women's Interpro campaign as the winning side will be presented to the Thomond Park crowd at half-time in honour of their Championship success. New signing Declan Moore is the final player of our Introducing Series and we hear from him as he settles into Munster life. We take a moment to remember Axel on his five-year anniversary and also mark the passing of our colleague Frances Bowen. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a n-anamacha.

senior debut 12 years ago against Edinburgh<br />
at Murrayfield. Ahead of him lies Donncha<br />

O’Gara (240), and he currently shares 4th<br />
position with Peter Stringer (232). If sprung from<br />
