CJ looks the standout man for Munster

Munster v Ospreys
Sky Sports 1 & S4C, 6.15pm Saturday

Ospreys have been dealt the hardest semi-final task of all in the Pro12 with a trip to Thomond Park, a venue where Munster have lost just once since Christmas 2015, and they go there with a record of one win in their last five outings.

So it’s no surprise the Welsh outfit get a double-figure handicap start for this trip to Limerick, and they will face a fully fired-up Munster side.

The Irish outfit have been playing with a lot of emotion this season following the death of head coach Anthony Foley and they would love to honour his memory with some silverware.

A disappointing European exit at the hands of Saracens will have sharpened their focus on a domestic crown and they have enjoyed two big wins since then.

Scrum-half Conor Murray is back from injury for Munster and they look to have too many threats all over the pitch. One key weapon looks to be CJ Stander.

The number eight is a powerful ball-carrier and scored in the Champions Cup semi-final against a resilient Saracens defence.

This season – November 4: Munster 33 Ospreys 0; February 18: Ospreys 23 Munster 25.

Recommendation
CJ Stander to score a try
1pt 2-1 general
