MUNSTER WILL FACE an away quarter-final against the Bulls in Pretoria after they clinched their place in the United Rugby Championship play-offs.
Clayton McMillan’s side knew that nothing less than victory against the Lions on Saturday night would do, and they ran out 24-17 winners in Thomond Park, finishing the regular season in fifth place.
Their reward is a trip to face the Bulls in South Africa, with a semi-final against either top-seeded Glasgow Warriors or Connacht awaiting the winners.
Stuart Lancaster’s side make the trip to Scotland in the first of the quarter-finals, which takes place on Friday, 29 May at 7.45pm.
Bulls-Munster (noon) is the first of three quarter-finals on Saturday 30 May, followed by Stormers-Cardiff at 2.30pm, before Leinster host the Lions at the Aviva Stadium (8pm) to decide the last semi-final place.
