Australia to play Munster in November

Australia will play top Irish club Munster in a mid-week match during the Wallabies' tour of Europe later this year, the Australian Rugby Union said on Tuesday.

The Wallabies will take on Munster at Thomond Park in Limerick on November 16, and other mid-week matches during the tour are probable, the ARU said.

"The additional non-Test matches that we have played on our last two Northern Hemisphere tours have been of great benefit to Australian rugby, in terms of exposing players, and we expect this trip to be no different," Wallabies coach Robbie Deans said.
