Keynan Knox has had to stay patient since his move to Munster straight from school in South Africa.
He was 19 when he made his Reds front row debut but, now 23, he has only made two starts in each of his four seasons with the province.
That statistic is about to change, as Knox made his second start of the new URC campaign in last week's victory against Zebre and he is in line to start against Connacht at the Sportsground tomorrow night.
