NO injury concerns emerged from Munster’s weekend pre-season friendly with Gloucester at Kingsholm, coach Clayton McMillan has confirmed.

Munster host English champions Bath at Cork’s Virgin Media Park this Friday at 7pm.

In all, 39 Munster players were in action at the weekend, with the bulk (31) involved with the province and the others with their clubs in the Munster Senior Challenge Cup.

In a further boost, Shane Daly, Jeremy Loughman, Ethan Coughlan, Oli Jager, and Lee Barron all made successful returns from injury in last Friday’s fixture.
