Munster hopeful on Test stars injuries

GUINNESS PRO12

Anthony Foley’s side secured a home play-off tie against Ospreys this weekend without flanker O’Mahony and wing Zebo, who were forced to watch from the Musgrave Park stands as their team-mates trounced the Dragons with an eight-try blitz that featured a Conor Murray hat-trick and scores from Andrew Smith, CJ Stander, Paul O’Connell, Keith Earls and Ronan O’Mahony.

They also had to endure a nervous wait for confirmation from Ospreys’ game at Connacht that the Welsh region had failed to earn the bonus-point win that would have seen them claim second spot behind Glasgow Warriors and bump Munster into third and an undesirable away semi instead.
