Clash of the titans.
Munster have no fresh injury concerns ahead of this weekend’s heavyweight inter-provincial clash clash with rivals Leinster in the PRO14.
The southern province made light work of Ulster this past weekend – smashing the northern province 64-7 in an absolute rout in front of the Thomond Park faithful. And the good news is all 23 players from that win are available for the trip to the Aviva.
Head coach Johann van Graan has also been boosted by the return of kiwi Tyler Bleyendaal – who has returned to full training after a long absence with a neck problem. Mike Haley is also expected to be back, after withdrawing late from Saturday’s squad with a hamstring problem.
Leinster meanwhile, have been boosted by the return of Ireland international trio Dan Leavy, James Ryan and Jack McGrath for the game. All three trained in Donnybrook today and are expected to be available.
Sean O’Brien will also be available, having come through his return in the win against Connacht – unscathed and ready for more minutes. Jordan Larmour and Rhys Ruddock however, are doubts for the game with hip problems.
