To register the players Munster had to de-register two of those who had been included in the original squad and in that case John Hayes (retired) makes way for Condon while Peter Stringer provides the slot for Jones who is expected to make a return to action next month.

There is a further opportunity for Munster to add players ahead of the quarter finals.

Meanwhile Munster continued their preparations for the Heineken Cup and British & Irish Cup games (v Ulster in Ravenhill, Friday) with a training session in UL this afternoon.

They'll complete their preparations in Cork on Friday and the senior squad fly out to Luton on Friday morning from Shannon Airport.
