Loughney a doubt for Connacht clash with Munster

Ronan Loughney remains a doubt for Connacht's sold-out meeting with Munster on New Year's Day.

The prop is still suffering from the back injury that saw him withdraw from the Stephen's Day defeat to Ulster.

Quinn Roux is winning his battle to be fit, as the ankle injury picked up in Friday's warm-up continues to improve.

Also, back row Eoin McKeon is available for the game at the Sportsgrounds after shaking off a knee sprain.
