Munster return to United Rugby Championship action on Saturday evening when they meet the Lions at 7.35pm.
It's the first game after the Graham Rowntree area came to an end.
Waterford's Jack O'Donoghue says they've been working hard to arrest their recent slump in form.
"I'm pretty sure we found ourselves in this position before," the 30-year-old said. "That's to show us, maybe, that we're late bloomers come towards the end of the season. But, at the moment, it's firmly focused on the Lions and getting the result and performance that we're proud of."
He was delighted to see coaches Denis Leamy and Mike Prendergast signing new contracts earlier this week.
"To be able to try and keep some continuity, I'm just I'm actually delighted that the two lads have signed on," O'Donoghue said.
