Stormers v Munster in URC final: All you need to know

The domestic rugby scene wraps up this weekend as Munster go in search of a first trophy since 2011 as they take on the DHL Stormers in the final of the BKT United Rugby Championship.

After a slow start to the season, where they lost five of seven games, few would have believed that they would be firmly in the mix at this stage.

However, Graham Rowntree's side, under a new coaching ticket this year, have exceeded expectations and recovered from a mid-season dip to work their way through the play-offs and book a place in the decider.

Defending champions Stormers stand in their way but Munster, who beat the hosts here in the regular season just last month, will believe that they have a great shot.

The Stormers are bidding to emulate Leinster (2013, 2014 and 2018-21) as the only team to successfully defend the title, while Munster have been beaten in the last three finals they reached (2015, 2017, 2021).

However, Munster have rampaged through the end of the season with four wins on the road, including the round 17 match here last month.

Rowntree's charges have also beaten Glasgow and Leinster
