Codling warns Munster to expect ‘Springbok-level’ heat from Stormers

MUNSTER forwards coach Alex Codling says his side are bracing for a full-blooded, Springbok-style onslaught when they host the table-topping Stormers in Saturday’s top-of-the-table United Rugby Championship clash in Limerick.

Both teams head into the match unbeaten after a top start to the campaign. The Stormers occupy the top position on points difference ahead of the second-placed Munster.

After winning their first two matches at home, the Stormers ended their three-match tour unbeaten and are brimming with confidence. For Codling, the challenge in front of Munster is crystal clear, as they expect Test-match intensity on Saturday.
