MUNSTER Rugby scrum-half Craig Casey is looking forward to the province's crunch clash with Benetton Rugby in the URC this Friday evening at a sold-out Virgin Media Park, 8pm, live on RTE2.
The fixture is set to be a sell-out with all 8,800 tickets for the fixture which is a season defining match for Ian Costello's side.
A win will see Munster Rugby would see the side clinch a place in the URC play-offs as well as securing Champions Cup rugby for next season.

Speaking at the launch of the C11 Recovery event in Thomond Park this Tuesday, Casey outlined the task ahead of him and his teammates this Friday night.
"The mood in the camp is really good. It's always good to come back into training after a win, especially when it's an inter-pro win. It's a higher level of buzz and you can ride that wave and bring that into the next game," Craig Casey said.
"We're under no illusions as to how tough this week is going to be. Benetton are a quality side and they had an unbelievable win last weekend against Glasgow. They will be coming into this game full of life and energy," he said.
"I know their head-coach is leaving at the end of the season so I can imagine they are going to try and send him off on a high but we know exactly what we have to do, we're buzzing for it now with it being a sell out in Cork," he added.
"With Archy, I've never seen someone so loved within an organization or a squad. From the outside looking in he's probably so underrated. He is a team-mate and a player that we will most certainly miss, the craic that we had and the way in which he would bring the whole group together, " Casey concluded.
The 26-year-old was recently announced as brand ambassador for Irish brand C11 Recovery, a global provider of recovery services for elite athletes. Speaking at the launch of the this collaboration, Casey outlined the benefits of recovery in the modern game.
“I’m excited to join C11 Recovery as an ambassador. I’ve used their equipment for years and know how important recovery is to staying fit and ready to perform. It’s great to team up with a brand that’s helping more athletes and people in general take recovery seriously.”
"I've gone hard at the recovery side of things the last few years and I've seen great benefits," he added.
