The sixteen players used by Gaffney suffered no more than the "usual bumps and bruises that you expect in an encounter of such intensity." according to the team coach.

The munster squad will assemble in Limerick on Tuesday ahead of their second Pool game against Ospreys (The Gnoll, Sunday 3pm). The Cork based players will overnight in the city and have a second squad session tomorrow.

Good news for the side is the return from injury of Shaun Payne and Donncha O'Callaghan both of whom are expected to figure in Gaffney's thoughts when he sits down later in the week to select the side for the game in Wales.
