We welcome KEARYS RENAULT, Munster’s official car supplier, to Thomond Park as Match Sponsors for the game.

Why not come along to our Fanzone Plaza and put your rugby skills to the test with our latest attractions the Tackle Cage Challenge, ‘Tak’ Reaction Board and many more! While in the Fanzone you can also browse through a variety of food stalls and soak up the atmosphere before heading inside the grounds.

Keep an eye out before the game and you will see that some of our staff are a little younger than usual. This is due to the roll out of the Junior Member Job For A Day Competition where we have offered our younger members the chance to work with Munster Rugby on a real match day.

We look forward to welcoming the U11 teams from Old Crescent and Thurles, when they take to the field at half time.

While players and management catch a breather and prepare for the second half, three lucky participants will take to the pitch to attempt our Crossbar Challenge. Kicking from hand, they will attempt to hit the crossbar from the 22m line. Each participant will be given just one chance and if they hit the crossbar will receive a €;250 One4All voucher, kindly sponsored by KEARYS RENAULT.

After the game, all spectators are invited to join the Munster players at a post-match BBQ in the Fan Zone Plaza where they will be on hand to sign autographs and pose for pictures. Our Munster Rugby mascot, Oscar, is looking forward to meeting all our younger supporters and has been training hard all to week in preparation for the speed, tackle and target challenges. Show your match ticket to enter!
