Coach Kidney, in his second spell in charge of the men in red, oversaw a heartening 20-18 pre-season friendly win over Northampton last weekend, with a number of new and young players from the province involved.

With last year’s Celtic League second place behind them, it’s looking pretty good for a top finish again for Munster come the end of May.

We asked you in our latest poll: Which province will do best in this season’s Celtic League?”

Out of 2,276 registered votes, Munster polled 39.5% (898 votes), Michael Cheika’s Leinster rated second on 25.5% (578), Ulster, under Mark McCall, were third with 22% (501), while Challenge Cup-qualified Connacht, bossed by Michael Bradley and his new assistant Eric Elwood this year, garnered 13% (299).

Many thanks to all those who voted.
