If approved by the GAA’s Central Council this Saturday, the historic encounter will take place at the Cork GAA venue on Saturday, February 3, 5pm.
It will be the first time ever the reigning champions of the URC and Super Rugby face off against each other.
Munster played at Páirc Uí Chaoimh for the first time last November against South Africa ‘A’ with the event proving a great success for supporters and the squad.
