Jean Kleyn smiles as soon as the subject is broached. He says he hasn’t seen it, but he knows all about it.
Munster lock Kleyn, who represented Western Province and Stormers for three years before his move to Ireland in 2016, has a first-hand appreciation of that sentiment. Any team getting a home final after thinking they’d be playing Leinster away, when that’s your other option; I think Munster at home seems pretty good. But I’d say we’ll see on Saturday what the result leads to. Kleyn is at least vaguely aware that, within the video footage, Stormers hooker Joseph Dweba is seen and heard vowing to ‘fuck up’ his Irish opponents.Dweba’s own mission statement has made for a topic of conversation during the South Africans’ press calls this game-week.
It was a sequence of results which dictated that virtually every remaining game from late November onwards was of the utmost importance. Under pressure for most of the season to merely book a play-off berth, the fact that Munster have gone on to reach this final is plainly extraordinary. “Individually, I’d say the players are more tightly-knit across the board than they ever have been. We have academy guys interacting with senior players who have 200-plus caps for the club, having lunch together… It’s one of the most healthy team environments I’ve been involved with.”
