PRESIDENT'S WELCOME 

other’ are not just words - they have a deep meaning 

for all the Munster family. 

I’m sure you will join me in wishing Johann, his 

coaching team and the entire squad our best wishes 

and success in tonight’s game and into the rest of 

the season ahead. 

It is my pleasure on behalf of Munster Rugby to 

extend a warm welcome to all attending Thomond 

Park for today’s final pool game in the Heineken 

Champions Cup. 

We also extend a welcome Wasps head coach Lee 

Blackett, his squad of players and all the travelling 

supporters. 

Munster come into this round with three wins from 

three, and sitting in 3rd place in Pool B, while Wasps 

have one win and a draw and sit in 8th place. For the 

neutrals watching this, it’s a perfect game, as both 

sides have a lot to play for with vital placings in the 

table at stake. For Munster who are already qualified 

for the Round of 16, it’s a matter of getting as close 

to the top spot as possible for home advantage later 

in the competition. We have all the makings of an 

extremely exciting and competitive game in store. 

The domestic game has restarted after the 

Christmas break and is in full swing. Thankfully, 

Covid cancellations are at a minimum with the 

Competitions Committee, Clubs and Schools 

working tirelessly to make sure that the best option 

is always there for games to go ahead. The work 

behind the scenes is never-ending, and there is great 

credit to all involved in getting as many players onto 

the field as possible in these extremely uncertain 

times. We must think positive, as the signs are that 

this wave is on a downward slope and that we are 

on the way back to some sort of normality once 

again - something we all look forward to. 

Enjoy the game wherever you are watching it from. 

Once again, thank you to Bank of Ireland our main 

sponsor, Adidas our kit supplier and all our sponsors. 

Your continued support is much appreciated. 

To the brave and faithful nothing is impossible. 

Sean McCullough 

President, Munster Branch IRFU 

On a positive note, today’s game was set for a 5,000 

and after the announcement by the government 

on Friday evening, we are back to full capacity. 

Great news for everyone and I’m sure that Munster 

faithful that will be in attendance will be heard loud 

and clear before, during and after the game. To all 

our supporters, we thank you for your continued 

support at home and away. For players to hear the 

Munster roar at games definitely gives them a boost 

when needed. Our motto, ‘we rise by lifting each

EPCR WELCOME 

A warm welcome to this Heineken 

Champions Cup pool stage match as we 

anticipate once again elite clubs and top 

players producing the brilliance and drama 

which have for long been the trademarks of 

our truly world-class tournament. 

The two fixtures this month will determine 

the eight clubs in each pool which will 

qualify for the knockout stage and continue 

on the road to the Marseille finals weekend, 

so the stakes are high. 

We can then look forward to an innovative 

Round of 16 with home and away legs, 

followed by traditional quarter-finals and 

semi-finals which will guarantee a further 

series of compelling matches culminating 

in the 2022 showpiece final at the Stade 

Vélodrome on Saturday, 28 May. 

In addition, the three clubs ranked ninth to 

11th in each pool will have the opportunity 

to compete for silverware by qualifying for 

the knockout stage of the EPCR Challenge 

Cup. 

range of linear and OTT platforms which 

broadcast the Heineken Champions Cup 

globally. 

We recognise that these are particularly 

challenging times for players, club staff 

and supporters, however, rest assured that 

we are continuing to work with the leagues 

and unions so that as many fixtures as 

possible can be played safely. 

We remain optimistic that this season’s 

tournament will be completed successfully, 

and on behalf of all at EPCR, enjoy the 

match and best wishes to you, the fans, 

as well as to your club’s players and staff 

for what promises to be a compelling 

conclusion to the pool stage. 

Yours in rugby, 

Dominic McKay, 

EPCR Chairman (interim) 

We are delighted to be joined on this 

season’s journey to Marseille by our longstanding 

title partner, Heineken, as well 

as by our newest official partner, DHL, 

who are providing customised logistics 

solutions for both the Heineken Champions 

Cup and the EPCR Challenge Cup, and 

we would also like to thank Tissot, the

JP FERREIRA MOVE CONFIRMED 

JP Ferrer 

It was announced earlier this week that 

Munster Rugby Defence Coach JP 

Ferreira will depart the province at the 

end of the current season. Ferreira, who 

joined the province in December 2017, 

will join Johann van Graan in making the 

move to Premiership outfit Bath Rugby. 

JP Ferreira said, “This has not been an 

easy decision to make as my family 

and I have thoroughly enjoyed our life 

in Limerick and are part of a very closeknit 

community. I have been in this role 

for five seasons and during this time I 

have enjoyed every minute of coaching 

at this incredible club. 

“The experience I have gained and the 

friendships that I have made along the 

way will forever stay with me. The way 

Munster Rugby opened their arms to 

my family and I throughout my tenure 

has been outstanding and we are 

forever grateful to everyone that has 

made this journey memorable and 

possible. 

“I’m very proud of what this group 

has achieved, and I’m excited for the 

months ahead as we remain focused 

on the task at hand, committed to 

delivering success with this group of 

players and staff.”

BECOME A REFEREE 

The search for new referees is underway across the 

province and the next course for new members of the 

Munster Association of Referees has been set for 

29TH JANUARY 2022 

The course will be held online and you can 

register by emailing olly.hodges@irfu.ie 

Rugby referees have the best seat in the house, and if keeping fit 

(referees run six miles in an 80 minute match), travelling, taking 

part in a lively social scene or getting an adrenaline rush is your 

idea of a great pastime, rugby refereeing could be for you. 

As well as the obvious benefits, a referee’s constant study of 

the game enriches the enjoyment of this lifetime sport. 

If you’re interested in taking the next steps and want to join 

the referee pathway, please register your interest with 

Munster Referee Development Manager Olly Hodges.

WHEN WE 

STAND 

TOGETHER 

NOTHING IS 

IMPOSSIBLE

STEPHEN LARKHAM 

THE 

INSIDE 

TRACK 

On Munster’s style of play… 

“I think you've got to be realistic when you look 

at our game. We know that we are not the team 

that kicks the most in most games. I know we've 

been criticised for kicking too much in the past, 

but the stats just don't add up. We feel we've got 

a very balanced game we play the game that 

we want to play. We feel that when there's an 

opportunity on the table, we would like to think 

that we are going to take those opportunities. I 

think we have a very sound game, we are looking 

for improvement every week. Some weeks the 

game just doesn't come together because of the 

conditions or different circumstances, but we 

certainly have enough variety in our game.” 

On playing Wasps this afternoon…. 

“I wouldn't take too much away from that 

performance last month. Remember, they got 

a red card early in that game and they were 

very difficult to play against, even with 14 men. 

Their breakdown contest and their ball carries 

– they are a dangerous side, there is no doubt 

about that. I think you have probably seen that 

with their more recent results – Leicester and 

Toulouse – good victories there, particularly 

when down to 14 men against Toulouse. We 

were very conscious of how good they were 

going into our last game against them, so there's 

nothing has changed on those lines.” 

On the recent news that RG Snyman will stay 

with Munster… 

“I'm certainly excited by that prospect. We've seen 

glimpses of RG on the field, and we've seen a lot 

more of him at training and around the place and 

he adds a lot to this organisation so it’s exciting. In 

terms of where RG is at, we are expecting he will 

make a full recovery. There's a tremendous team 

around him at the moment and building him back 

up. We have got full confidence in that process.” 

On the ongoing contracting process… 

“We certainly haven't secured a full roster for 

next year and that's a process that is always 

ongoing. Throughout the 12 months of the year 

there's always contract negotiations and top 

ups and those discussions happening, so it's no 

different at the moment. We are just kind of in the 

in the heat of it at the moment, just trying to get 

a number of guys signed, so you’ll have to wait 

and see.” 

On the carrot of securing home advantage in the 

knockout stages… 

“We have spoken about that, that's definitely a 

goal for us. I guess if you look at it from a Wasps’ 

perspective, they have got a bit to fight for, but 

we've certainly got a lot to fight for. It makes a 

massive difference, getting those home games, 

so we've spoken about that early in the week. 

That will be a little focus in the back of our mind. 

It's like every other game - we go out there, we 

get our prep right leading into the game and we 

are trying to put on our best performance on the 

field.”

STEPHEN ARCHER 

On the environment within the squad at the 

moment… 

“The vibes are very good. It’s a very competitive 

environment, particularly on the field and like any 

of the good teams I’ve been involved in, there’s 

a lot of competition there. Fellas are trying to 

get better every day. There’s a good work ethic 

around the place. Even the young guys coming 

through – they push on the likes of myself. You 

know that if you don’t show up and not do your 

best every week you won’t get selected.” 

On what he is expecting from Wasps… 

“They have had two massive performances 

in the last few weeks, particularly the last day 

with 14 men against Toulouse. It was a very 

impressive performance from them. We are 

expecting a big battle. We expect the battle 

up front, particularly their back row. Barbeary, 

Shields and Willis – they are a good unit so I'm 

expecting a massive battle there and they will be 

very hungry to progress to the knockout stages.” 

On the news that JP Ferreira will depart at the 

end of the season…. 

“JP is great fella. It is disappointing that he is 

moving on, but we are kind of used to it at this 

stage. A lot of coaches come and go, especially 

during my time, so there's nothing new there. 

We will miss JP and particularly over the last 

few years, our defence has been the fulcrum of 

our game and always has been. We will continue 

to work hard over the next few months and 

fingers crossed we will send him off with good 

memories and some silverware.” 

On his personal goals… 

“My main thing is trying to keep looking forward. 

The body feels good, and touch wood, I haven’t 

had any injuries in the last few years. I try to look 

after my body a lot and week to week try and 

stay healthy and at the weekends get stuck in.” 

On working with Graham Rowntree… 

“He's a great fella. He came in two years ago and 

he has rejuvenated me anyway, just his style of 

thinking and he's a very personable guy. He is 

not afraid to tell you and is very honest to tell you 

what’s what. You always know where you stand. 

He'll tell you exactly what to do just to improve 

ourselves and to improve the team, so I'm really 

delighted he's staying for the next two years. 

When he first came here we just sat down and 

he gave me a few things to work on - nothing 

major – I worked on them for a few months and 

they just noticed big improvements in my game. 

It was very helpful.”

DAVE KILCOYNE TO JOIN 

‘200 CLUB’ 

This afternoon, Dave Kilcoyne is set to join 

just 11 other players in Munster’s history to 

reach 200 caps for the province. 

Kilcoyne turned 33 last month and has 

started in eight of Munster’s 10 games so 

far this campaign. 

He is the second-most capped player in the 

current squad behind Stephen Archer (236). 

The Limerick native and Ardscoil Ris alum 

made his Munster debut against Connacht 

in Thomond Park in December 2011, 

lining out against Racing Metro in his first 

European match in October 2012. 

A product of the Greencore Munster Rugby 

Academy, Kilcoyne moved to a senior 

contract ahead of the 2012/13 season. 

In his 199 appearances for Munster, he has 

scored 21 tries. 

He won the first of his 45 international caps 

against South Africa in November 2012 and 

featured in all five of Ireland’s games at the 

Rugby World Cup in Japan in 2019. 

Kilcoyne will be hoping to continue 

racking up the appearances having signed 

a three-year contract extension in March 

2020 that keeps him at Munster until at 

least June 2023.

Champions Cup, Pool B, Round 1 

RECENT HISTORY 

MUNSTER 19-3 WASPS 

Saturday 19 January 2008 

Thomond Park 

Champions Cup, Pool 5, Round 6 

Patrick Campbell celebrates 

his try with Andrew Conway 

in last month's clash 

Munster’s opening game of this season’s Heineken 

Champions Cup had everything in it as the men in 

red not only survived an action-packed afternoon 

of rugby but produced a fantastic bonus point 32- 

14 win against Wasps in Coventry. Twelve players 

made their Munster debuts in the clash including 

Greencore Munster Rugby Academy hooker Scott 

Buckley who was named Heineken Star of the 

Match and, along with Patrick Campbell, was one 

of two Munster players to score their first Munster 

tries on their debuts. 

Munster’s other tries came from Keith Earls and 

Andrew Conway with Joey Carbery kicking three 

conversions and three penalties. Brad Shields’ 

red card in the 25th minute saw the home side 

play the majority of the game with 14 men, but 

they continued to challenge with No. 8 Alfie 

Barbeary getting over the whitewash at the half 

hour mark. Their cause wasn’t helped by a yellow 

card for Dan Frost late in the first half. Munster led 

7-13 at the break after Earls touched down on 34 

minutes. As Munster extended their lead in the 

second half with tries from Campbell, Conway and 

Buckley, seven debutants came off the bench and 

acquitted themselves well. Wasps hit back when 

Michael Le Bourgeois picked a good line to score 

on the 63rd minute from close range to reduce 

Munster’s lead but a Carbery penalty made it 35- 

14 after 67 minutes, which was the final score of 

the game. 

Mick O'Driscoll is tackled 

by Lawrence Dallaglio in 

January 2008 

Munster advanced to the quarter-finals with 

an impressive 19 – 3 victory over the 2007 

Champions London Wasps, topping Pool 5 with 

19 points securing them a place in the knockout 

stages. 

Danny Cipriani opened the scoring with a 

penalty after 4 minutes with Ronan O’Gara 

getting on the board 8 minutes later and adding 

two more penalties in the first half to ensure 

Munster led 9-3 at half-time, despite being 

without Denis Leamy for a ten-minute spell 

in the second quarter after he was issued a 

yellow card. Wasps went into the break with 14 

men after Simon Shaw was yellow carded 35 

minutes into the first half. 

O’Gara added another penalty on the 55th 

minute after captain Lawrence Dallaglio was 

sent to the sin bin and also converted Leamy’s 

try in the 74th minute. 

It was a masterclass in control from Ronan 

O’Gara who pulled the strings while Man of 

the Match Donncha O’Callaghan disrupted the 

Wasps lineout giving Munster the edge in this 

tightly fought pool game.

IN FORM 

PETER 

O'MAHONY 

The Munster captain has been in devastating form this season, proving a handful for the opposition 

in both the URC and Heineken Champions Cup. 

In this season’s Heineken Champions Cup he has won 26 lineouts, which includes 5 steals, in the 

three matches to date. 

He also tops the stats in this tournament for turnovers, with 8 turnovers this season so far. 

Peter has captained Munster since 2013 and toured with the Lions in 2017. He featured in all three 

of Ireland’s Autumn Nations Series matches. 


If exceptional tries are what you like, you can 

always count on ASM Clermont Auvergne wing, 

Damian Penaud, to deliver. Fans witnessed 

some great scores in Round 1 of the Heineken 

Champions Cup and EPCR Challenge Cup 

including Penaud’s spectacular effort against 

Ulster Rugby. 

“Great break from JJ Hanrahan to expose the 

opposition front row and beat him one-on-one, 

followed by a perfectly-timed pass to Penaud, 

who has the kick accuracy, speed and a worldclass 

finish to score a superb try,” was how BT 

Sport’s Sam Waburton described the score. 

Warburton’s verdict, combined with the public’s 

votes, determined the winner, and although 

Penaud fully deserved the accolade, it was 

a close call between his effort and Anthony 

Jelonch’s memorable try for Stade Toulousain 

against Cardiff Rugby. 

For the sixth season in a row, the Try of the 

Round activation is launched on the Monday 

after each round, and fans will also be able to 

vote for the Try of the Season immediately after 

the Finals Weekend next May. 

Cheslin Kolbe won the award for the best try 

last season, Juan Imhoff topped the poll in 

2019/20, then it was Maxime Médard in 2018/19, 

Tadhg Beirne in 2017/18, and first of all, Nick 

Abendanon back in 2016/17.

Munster face Wasps this weekend in their 

fourth and final fixture in the Pool stages 

of this year’s Champions Cup and there is 

plenty at stake for both teams. 

Both sides are in line to qualify for the Round 

of 16 with Munster aiming to secure four 

wins from four to secure a high seeding with 

Wasps eager to ensure they finish in the top 

eight and qualify for the knockout stages. 

The Round of 16 will see the top eight from 

both Pools face off in two-legged fixtures in 

mid-April. 

Munster were 35-14 winners when the 

sides faced off in Coventry in December in a 

thrilling encounter. 

WHAT'S AT STAKE 

Click here for highlights. 

Coming into this round, Johann van Graan’s 

side were third in the table, one point 

behind Harlequins and Leciester Tiger, and 

one point above Bristol Bears. 

Since December’s clash between the side, 

Wasps had their away game with Toulouse 

postponed with the game declared a 0-0 

draw and defeated the French side 30-22 

last weekend in an outstanding performance 

from 14-man Wasps. 

That victory moved Lee Blackett’s side into 

the top eight in Pool B of the Champions 

Cup and Wasps need a win to guarantee 

their place in the knockout stages. 

ROUND OF 16 QUALIFICATION 

At the end of the Pool stages, the eight highest-ranked clubs in Pool A and the eight highestranked 

clubs in Pool B will qualify for the Round of 16 matches which will be played over 

two legs on a home and away basis as follows: 

R16 1: Number 1-ranked club in Pool A v Number 8-ranked club in Pool B 




R16 5: Number 4-ranked club in Pool B v Number 5-ranked club in Pool A 




NB The clubs ranked numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 from Pool A and Pool B will play the 

second leg of their Round of 16 matches at home. 

• The three clubs ranked 9 to 11 in each of the pools will qualify 

for the Round of 16 of the EPCR Challenge Cup. 

• The Round of 16 games are scheduled to take place the 

weekends of 8/9/10 April and 15/16/17 April 2022. 

• After the Round of 16, the next round in the Heineken 

Champions Cup will be the quarter-finals, with four matches 

to take place.

THE LOWDOWN 

THE SQUAD 

Capped 69 times for England, Wasps captain 

Joe Launchbury has been sidelined since April 

2021 with an ACL injury, however he is due to 

make his return to action in the coming weeks. 

New Zealand born back row Brad Shields has 

featured as captain this season, and joined 

Wasps from the Hurricanes in 2018. The 

side includes former Leinster outhalf Jimmy 

Gopperth who played 59 times in blue and 

scored 350 points before joining Wasps in 2015. 

Last month, Wasps announced that World Cup 

winning South African international tightheadprop 

Vincent Koch will join the club next season 

from Saracens. The uncapped Alfie Barbeary 

was named as part of Eddie Jones' 36-man 

England squad earlier this week ahead of the 

upcoming Six Nations. 

THE FORM GUIDE 

Wasps come to Limerick on the back of a 30-22 

win over champions Toulouse in Round 3 last 

weekend, with Wasps reduced to 14 men from 

the 33rd minute after full-back Jacob Umaga 

was shown a red card. Wasps tries were scored 

by Biyi Alo, Brad Shields and Alfie Barbeary 

while Jimmy Gopperth found his mark off the 

tee with three conversions and three penalties. 

Wasps suffered a home defeat to Munster 

in Round 1 while their Round 2 clash away to 

Toulouse did not go ahead. Wasps currently sit 

in 8th position in the Premiership table, with 

five wins from twelve matches. Their last three 

games in the Premiership saw them defeat 

London Irish 38-30 at home on December 26, 

go down 26-18 to Sale Sharks on New Year’s 

Day and defeat Leicester Tigers 16-13 at home 

on January 9 last. 

Lee Blackett 

THE COACHING TICKET 

Head coach Lee Blackett joined Wasps as 

backs coach ahead of the 2015/16 season from 

Rotherham Titans where he had been the 

youngest head coach in English rugby’s top two 

flights for the previous two seasons. A former 

wing/centre and captain of Rotherham, he 

became Wasps head coach in 2020. Forwards 

coach Richard Blaze joined during the 2019/20 

season and is a former lock with Wasps and 

Leicester. Attack coach John Mitchell re-joined 

the club last year having previously been 

with the club during the 1999/00 season. The 

former All Blacks head coach also coached 

the USA national team and was defence coach 

for England from 2018-2021. Transition coach 

Matt Everard is a former Academy and Wasps 

A coach. The former England U20 backrow

in 2017. Scrum coach Neil Fowkes is a former 

prop forward with Nottingham who went on 

to coach their forwards before becoming head 

coach in 2018. He joined Wasps on a full-time 

basis in 2020. Skills coach Ed Robinson joined 

the club from Jersey Reds in 2021 where he 

was the backs coach.
