Munster will be without Alex Nankivell for their final regular URC fixture against Ulster and then into the play-offs.
However the 27-year-old sustained an ankle injury against Edinburgh and the province have confirmed that he will be absent for "the next few weeks." Mike Haley suffered a head injury in the victory over Edinburgh and is going through the return to play protocols but he should be available for the Ulster encounter at Thomond Park.
