Munster Rugby confirm big injury boost in squad update

THE Munster Rugby squad is preparing for Friday week’s crucial United Rugby Championship round 10 clash against Scarlets at Parc y Scarlets,7.35pm, live on TG4 & Premier Sports.

In a big boost to the squad ahead of crucial games in both the URC and later in the Investec Champions Cup, Munster report that their South African World Cup winner RG Snyman also returns to full team training after recovering from a chest/shoulder injury sustained in the World Cup final.

Munster has revealed that Tom Ahern has completed the return to play protocols and returns to full team training this week.

Cian Hurley (ankle/achilles) is increasing his training load.

There is unfortunate news for Patrick Campbell as he will undergo surgery on a shoulder injury and is unavailable for the coming four to five months.

Munster say there are no fresh injuries to report following Saturday’s win over Crusaders at Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

Continuing to Rehab: Simon Zebo (knee), John Hodnett (finger), Paddy Patterson (knee), Jack O’Donoghue (knee), Dave Kilcoyne (shoulder), Diarmuid Barron (foot), Jean Kleyn (eye/knee), Liam Coombes (shoulder), Roman Salanoa (knee).
