Coughlan set to miss clash with Warriors

James Coughlan looks set to miss Munster’s RaboDirect PRO12 game against Glasgow Warriors on Saturday having sustained a bone fracture to his left hand during Sunday’s Heineken Cup defeat to Ulster.

Coughlan will see a specialist later this week to establish the full extent of the damage. Keith Earls will also undergo further scans today to determine the seriousness of a leg injury he sustained in the second half at Thomond Park.

Meanwhile, Welsh side Cross Keys will provide the opposition to Munster in the final of the British & Irish Cup final after they defeated Cornish Pirates in the semi-final on Saturday. On Good Friday, Munster defeated Leinster in an extra time thriller at the RDS (36-29).
