MUNSTER HAVE RECEIVED a timely boost with two players who were regulars last season set to return to action after recovering from lengthy injuries as they head into the business end of the season.
Nankivell, who signed a two-year contract extension in December, made 19 appearances, 17 of them starts, in his maiden term last season after joining from the Chiefs but he’s been confined to half a dozen games in this campaign. “It’s just to see how they progress over the next couple of days and how they respond to the load, the heavy load, and make a decision on them later in the week.”
