Glasgow Warriors head coach Gregor Townsend said: "It's been an enjoyable week preparing for another final and it's essential we use the experience of last season to put in a performance of which we can all be proud.
"The way the team came back to win last week against Ulster underlined the work ethic and belief the players have in each other, and we expect to see more of that on display in Belfast tomorrow.
"Munster are a quality side who have been at the top end of the GUINNESS PRO12 table all season. They play a direct brand of rugby, balanced with dangerous attackers in their backline, so we'll have to give our best defensive effort of the season.
"Our supporters have got behind the team in large numbers home and away and we're looking forward to playing in front of them one final time this season at the Kingspan Stadium."
