Munster to tackle All-Blacks in home fixture

MUNSTER will tackle an All-Blacks XV in an attractive home fixture in the Autumn, the club has confirmed.

The tie has been announced for Thomond Park on Saturday, November 2 (5.30pm).

Since the redevelopment of the venue in 2008, Munster has hosted international opposition in the form of the All-Blacks, Australia and the Māori All-Blacks.

More recently Munster staged sold-out clashes against South Africa A and the Crusaders in Cork’s SuperValu Páirc Ui Chaoimh in 2022 and earlier this year.

Commenting on the announcement Munster Rugby CEO Ian Flanagan said: “We will be delighted to welcome the All Blacks XV to Thomond Park in November as part of their Northern Hemisphere tour.

“We have a long and rich history of hosting international sides and I’m sure November’s match will add another exciting chapter to this tradition.”

General ticket sales will open to the public on Wednesday, March 20.
