Munster trio nursing injuries over break

With the autumn international series taking centre stage for the next three weeks Munster players have been afforded the week off but James Coughlan, Sean Dougall and Niall Ronan are facing into a week of rehabilitation.

Both Coughlan and Ronan are carrying groin injuries while Dougall is recovering from a knee knock sustained in the victory over the Cardiff Blues on Friday.

Meanwhile latest singing CJ Stander will continue his transition into his new training programme.

Eleven players have been called up to international duty and those who have been involved at club level may continue to see some action again this weekend in the All Ireland League while the Academy players continue with their schedule as normal.
