Wasps V Munster on TV
WouterSeveral years ago, Wasps were European champions and this week they will play host to Munster in the first round of the European Champions Cup. This is a crucial match for both teams and they will need to win it to progress. The match is taking place on Sunday, January 23 at 3:15pm.
This is a game that was predicted to be won by Wasps, but they haven’t scored a try in two months. However, they did win their last match against Toulouse and this game will be a good indicator of how their form is going.
Munster have made a number of changes to their squad in recent weeks. Jack Crowley will be replaced by Ben Healy as out-half, with Denis Leamy returning to the provincial side. They will also have two new Irish out-halves in Chris Cloete and Jason Jenkins. They also have Jack O’Donoghue making his 150th appearance for the club.
Munster will be without Dave Kilcoyne and Keith Earls. They are also without Alfie Barbeary and Calvin Nash. Both are missing from the Rowntree squad as well. The team is also missing Peter O’Mahony.
Wasps made eight changes to their side, including introducing Dan Robson after two months out. They also welcomed back Tom West and Elliott Stooke. They also made a few changes to their bench.
Munster took the lead after a couple of minutes. Gavin Coombes carried the ball in the 22 and presented it to O’Donoghue. He then kicked the penalty to touch.
