Squad Update

Munster trained at the University of Limerick today for the Newport Gwent Dragons game with most of the leading lights not involved as they won’t be featuring in Friday night’s match.

Arising from the weekend's physical encounter Donncha O'Callaghan was the only serious casualty and will need to undergo further examination on the knee injury he picked up.

News from Rob Penney today confirmed that Keith Earls (shoulder) continues to make good progress but is unlikely to be involved this weekend and the same applies to Doug Howlett who is suffering a shoulder injury sustained in the game against Glasgow.

Sean Dougall (knee) and Luke O'Dea (wrist) continue to be ruled out of consideration.

Munster take on Newport Gwent Dragons at Rodney Parade next Friday night at 7pm and the team will be announced on Thursday at midday.
