Pre-Match Q&A for Saracens v Munster in London

The MRSC in conjunction with the MRSC London Branch are very pleased to announce the fourth ever London Q&A on the eve of the much anticipated Champions Cup clash with Saracens.

Munster Head Coach Anthony Foley will be giving a preview of the game in London on Friday evening with Conor Murray and Damien Varley now confirmed to join him.

The event will take place in the Temple Walkabout, Temple Station, Temple Place, London WC2R 2PH (The venue is directly over Temple tube station so is easily accessible on the tube). This event will be Free to enter and is open to all Munster fans.

The Q&A will commence at 8pm SHARP and finish at 8:45pm.

From 9.30 there will be live music with popular Traditional Irish Band Celtic Crunch and from 11.15 a DJ will take to the decks (times approx). The MRSC Choir will also be in attendance.

We expect this to be a very well attended event given the large number of Munster fans already involved with the MRSC London Branch, reinforced by those from Ireland and beyond staying in London this weekend.
