Tomás O’Leary looking forward to a historic night at Páirc Uí Chaoimh but admits Munster will need something special to pick up a win

Former Munster star Tomás O’Leary is looking forward to a historic occasion at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Thursday evening, although he admits it will be very difficult for Munster to pick up the win against South Africa ‘A.’

The Boks bring a squad loaded with international experience. Over a dozen of the 23 are full internationals and in front of a jam-packed Páirc Uí Chaoimh, which is hosting a rugby game for the first time, O’Leary is expecting a young Munster side to be up against it.

“It’s definitely going to be a hard one. You look at the games in the past and there was a memorable game against the All Blacks in Thomond Park. I was at that game, and it was one of the best atmospheres I have ever experienced, so hopefully, there will be something akin to that.
