PETER O’MAHONY AND Oli Jager have been ruled out of Munster ’s URC trip to face Leinster at Croke Park on Saturday after sustaining injuries in last weekend’s 23-0 victories over the Ospreys.
Also definitively ruled out for Saturday’s interpro at GAA HQ is wing Thaakir Abrahams, who Munster have confirmed suffered a low-grade thigh injury against Zebre. Shane Daly is also unlikely to feature as he continues to recover from an elbow injury suffered in the same game. The same goes for Ruadhán Quinn, who is following return-to-play protocols, and Billy Burns who has increased his training load this week following his shoulder injury against Connacht.
Munster say long-term absentees Rory Scannell and Paddy Patterson are making ‘good progress’ and will increase their training loads this week.
