Good news however is that Frank Sheahan and Denis Leamy, both of whom were forced to leave the field against the All Blacks in Thomond Park last week are expected to train in Limerick tomorrow while David Wallace is expected to do some light training later in the week.

Denis Hurley (knee) and his namesake Darragh (disc) are not expected to resume training for 2/3 weeks while the Magners League game against Connacht is seen as the likely debut for New Zealand flanker Nick Williams.

Further good news for Munster is that Duncan Williams came through the forty minutes he played with Cork Constitution yesterday unscathed.
