Munster Rugby out-half Jack Crowley
THE Munster Rugby squad is preparing at their High Performance Centre at UL ahead of Friday’s URC Round 17 clash against Edinburgh at the Hive Stadium, 7.35pm, live on TG4 & Premier Sports.
Saturday’s 42-17 bonus-point win over Connacht at Thomond Park saw Munster win for the seventh URC game in succession, earning 34 points from the last 35 available.
Munster scored seven tries to record an emphatic 47-12 interprovincial victory in front of an attendance of 20,183.
On the injury front ahead of Friday night's meeting with Edinburgh, Munster report that Tom Ahern (shoulder) and Jack Crowley (foot) picked up knocks against Connacht.
They will be assessed as the week progresses and a decision regarding their availability for Edinburgh will be made later in the week.
In Academy player news, Munster confirmed that back-row forward Daniel Okeke has completed his time at the province and will pursue a new playing opportunity next season.
The Shannon RFC man spent three years in the Academy after coming up through the ranks at Thomond RFC and Ardscoil Rís.
A former Ireland U20 international, Okeke was one of 12 players to make their senior Munster debuts in the Champions Cup win against Wasps in December 2021.
Munster thanked Okeke for his contribution to Munster Rugby and wished him all the best for the future.
Continuing to rehab: Dave Kilcoyne (shoulder), Diarmuid Barron (foot), Roman Salanoa (knee), Jean Kleyn (knee/eye), Paddy Patterson (knee), Patrick Campbell (shoulder), Josh Wycherley (face).
