Four Munster players doubtful for Stade Francais return

Munster have a quartet of doubtful starters for Saturday’s Champions Cup return fixture with Stade Francais.

The struggling Irish province, eliminated from Europe by the French title holders last weekend with two games still to play, were already up against it following three straight pool losses in a run of six defeats in seven starts.

The 27-7 defeat in Paris on Saturday saw them lose Andrew Conway (hip), BJ Botha (knee), and Tommy O’Donnell (concussion) before half-time while Munster revealed last night O’Donnell’s fellow back rower Jack O’Donoghue also suffered a concussion.
