Jack Carty (hamstring) and Byron Ralston (ankle) have returned to full training and are available for selection.

Jack Aungier (neck) and Sean Jansen (groin) continue to be monitored and their availability for Munster will be assessed in the coming days.

Santiago Cordero (knee) continues to integrate into full training following his ACL injury.

There are no updates on Shayne Bolton (thigh), Eoin de Buitlear (hamstring), Mack Hansen (shoulder), Diarmuid Kilgallen(shoulder) and Michael McDonald (foot).
