Munster Rugby's final URC regular season fixture officially sold out

MUNSTER Rugby's final regular season fixture in the United Rugby Championship this Friday is officially sold out.

Munster confirmed this Monday that all tickets have been snapped up for the crucial meeting with Benetton at Virgin Media Park in Cork, 8pm kick-off. The capacity for the game is 8,800.

Munster currently occupy the eighth and final play-off spot in the table. The top eight finishers following next weekend's final round of regular season fixtures will qualify for the quarter-final play-offs in the URC as well as securing a spot in next season's Investec Champions Cup.

2023 URC winners Munster currently edge Cardiff for eight place on mere points difference. Both sides have 46 match points, the same number as seventh-placed Benetton who are the visitors to Virgin Media Park on Friday.

Five of the eight teams who will make up the Play-Offs - Leinster, Vodacom Bulls, Glasgow Warriors, Hollywoodbets Sharks and DHL Stormers - are already confirmed with the first four assured of home ties in the Quarter-Finals.

Five other teams remain in the hunt for the other three spots - Munster, Scarlets, Benetton, Cardiff, and Edinburgh.

Munster's meeting with Benetton is live on TG4 and Premier Sports on Friday evening.
