MUNSTER Rugby has confirmed that formal approval is being sought for the use of Páirc Uí Chaoimh for their ‘Clash of Champions’ fixture against New Zealand side, the Crusaders next February.

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.

Following a huge uptake in the pre-sale, all stand tickets were sold-out within minutes of the tickets going on general sale. All tickets were sold-out within four days of going on general sale.

Munster Rugby say they will will have a ticket update on the Crusaders fixture early next week with full details of on-sale dates and pricing details.

MRSC members and priority groups will be contacted directly regarding a pre-sale.
