Munster round off their United Rugby Championship regular season against Leinster in Dublin this Saturday at 7.15pm.

In positive news for the province, Gavin Coombes (ankle), Chris Cloete (head) and Jack O’Sullivan (knee) will all return to training this week.

However, Simon Zebo (chest/rib) and Damian De Allende (chest) will both miss out with their injuries meaning they are unavailable for selection.

Peter O’Mahony was removed from the game against Toulouse with a persistent stinger and will be managed through the week.

Mike Haley was also removed from the game against Toulouse earlier this month after failing a HIA and is progressing through the return to play protocols. His availability will be determined later in the week.
