Munster's Pro14 play-off hunt sees them travel to face an in-form Benetton in Italy. It's a busy period for Johann Van Graan's outfit, who are second in their conference and have a Heineken Champions Cup semi-final coming up on 20 April.

The game is live on Eir Sport 1 extra for the Eir Sport app. It is also available on Facebook and Twitter. The other Irish province playing on Friday night, Ulster, will be live on Eir Sport 2. That game kicks off at 7.35pm.

How is the table shaping up?
Munster are currently second and very well placed in A. Benetton are third, just two points off Ulster in Conference B. Therefore a Munster victory would be a big boost for Ulster's play-off hopes. It's set to be a crucial weekend for all the Irish provinces in the Pro14.
Munster team news?
The red province have made 11 changes after their victory over Cardiff last weekend.
Munster: Mike Haley; Darren Sweetnam, Sammy Arnold, Dan Goggin, Shane Daly; JJ Hanrahan, Alby Mathewson; Jeremy Loughman, Rhys Marshall, Stephen Archer; Fineen Wycherley, Billy Holland (C); Jack O’Donoghue, Chris Cloete, Gavin Coombes.
Replacements: Kevin O’Byrne, Liam O’Connor, Ciaran Parker, Darren O’Shea, Dave O’Callaghan, Neil Cronin, Bill Johnston, Alex McHenry.
Are Benetton in good form?
The Italian club are arguably the most-improved team in the world right now. Last weekend they drew with Leinster in a strong showing. They've kept with the majority of the same team for this Friday's clash.
So a reminder from those wondering where to watch Munster, it's on Facebook and Twitter via Eir Sport as well as the Eir Sport 1 extra channel. Outside of Ireland, the game is also on FreeSports and DAZN.
Kick-off for the game is at 7.00pm.
