Skipper Iain Henderson is among Ulster's frontliners who may miss out as the province resume their URC campaign after a very disappointing start to their Champions Cup bid
Ulster are sweating on a host of frontliners ahead of Friday night's URC clash with Munster at Kingspan Stadium.
Head coach Richie Murphy is counting the cost of a damaging opening two rounds in the Champions Cup, with over 100 points conceded against Top 14 giants Toulouse and Bordeaux Begles and an extended injury list. Skipper Iain Henderson, new Ireland cap Cormac Izuchukwu, out-half Aidan Morgan and Ireland back row Nick Timoney, plus winger Werner Kok and utility half-back Nathan Doak are all being monitored after picking up injuries on Saturday.READ MORE:Everything will be looked at by Leinster as Blues want to sort out big issues
Also doubtful are Ben Carson and Stewart Moore, who were both injured the previous weekend in Toulouse. In a welcome piece of good news for Murphy, John Cooney has resumed full training and is available for selection.
