Munster’s final Champions Cup pool fixture against Castres Olympique has been postponed until 4.0pm.
The match had been due to kick off at 1.0pm, but it has been pushed back by three hours due to heavy rainfall in Limerick.
Johann van Graan’s side need a win at Thomond Park in order to guarantee a place in the last-eight of the competition.
Due to the heavy rainfall Referee Ben Whitehouse has confirmed today's kick off will now be at 4pm #MUNvCO
