THIS SATURDAY, THOMOND Park will swap back from the posts and nets of the Airtricity League to the tall uprights the Limerick ground is so famous for.

So, before the squads from Munster and Gloucester trample in to signal the start of a new rugby season, take a good long gawk around the changing rooms which Munster hope will see plenty of success between now and May 2014.
