In Pics: Munster Rugby Training In UL

With a six day turnaround for the Leinster game the Munster squad commenced their preparations yesterday in UL.

Talk of the Quins game was parked as Munster set their focus on close rivals Leinster who they play in Thomond Park on Saturday in the final home Rabo game of the season.

Paul O'Connell stood out of training while James Downey only featured at the start as both needed the additional time to rest and recuperate after the weekend's physical encounter. Doug Howlett who was ruled out of action last weekend with a shoulder injury didn't take part in the session.

Keith Earls made a return to limited Munster training following his shoulder injury picked up against Italy, while Sean Dougall (knee) and Luke O'Dea (wrist) continue to rehab their respective injuries.
