Munster and Glasgow Warriors are set to clash in the URC semi-final at Thomond Park, marking their 43rd encounter, with Munster leading the head-to-head 25-16 with one draw. Munster, riding a 10-match winning streak, appear formidable, having won the URC title last season.

Coach Franco Smith urges Glasgow to stay focused and not be overwhelmed by the semi-final pressure, emphasizing continuity and the right team selection. The rivalry is intense, with historical flashpoints like the 2015 Pro12 final and contentious matches in European competitions. A sell-out crowd of 25,600 is expected, highlighting the high stakes and anticipation surrounding the match.
