RECAP: Munster v Southern Kings
READERS’ FORUM: Welcome to our coverage of the Pro14 Round 11 encounter between Munster and Southern Kings in Cork.
Munster are in huge need of a Pro14 victory after a run of just one win in their last four. Defeat would see them lose three in a row at home for the first time since February 2016.
Their opponents on Friday have serious concerns of their own and come into the match with a solitary win to their name this term, which came away at Ospreys in Round Six. They failed to lay a glove on Munster on their last visit to Independent Park, suffering a 43-0 defeat.
The Kings are rooted to the foot of the Conference B table, while Munster sits a point adrift of second-place Scarlets.
