Last year’s beaten finalists Munster will be expected to get off to a winning start against Benetton Treviso in Cork.

It’s the first game of the final six months of Rassie Erasmus’ time in charge.

The future Springboks director of rugby says his impending departure won’t be a distraction for the players.

The Cheetahs kick off their maiden campaign in the competition by facing Ulster at Kingspan Stadium.
