"Originally due to take place on Friday night [7.35pm], significant logistical challenges have occurred due to the visit of HRH King Charles III and the Queen's Consort to Cardiff on 16 September.
"Broadcast facilities for both the host broadcaster [BBC Wales] and other TV facilities providers will be engaged in the coverage of the visit and the drain on available resources has resulted in the rescheduling of the game.
"The BKT United Rugby Championship would like to thank both Cardiff Rugby and Munster for their understanding in this matter which has occurred under very unique circumstances."
