Racing sweat on Dan Carter, Casey Laulala for Munster date

Ronan O’Gara is hopeful Dan Carter and centre Casey Laulala will be ready for the start of the Champions Cup in less than three weeks against his native Munster.

The pair had to go off injured in Saturday’s 31-23 loss away to Castres and could be doubtful for the visit of Munster to Paris for the opening round of the Champions Cup on Sunday fortnight.

Carter suffered a calf injury and former Munster centre Laulala injured his arm and both were replaced at half-time.
