Munster Rugby has demonstrated significant success in their recent tour of South Africa, achieving victories against all four major South African teams in the United Rugby Championship (URC). Notably, Munster secured wins at key venues including Ellis Park and Loftus, which are considered strongholds of Springbok rugby. Their performance included a defensive showcase that notably affected the Lions' playoff chances, culminating in a bonus-point victory. This series of matches highlighted Munster's strategic prowess, marking their tour with a record of four wins, two draws, and three losses against these teams. Munster remains the only European side with such a consistent record in South Africa, with the Sharks being the only team they did not defeat.
