Munster's scrum-half injury issues worsen but Cloete returns to training

Munster have been delivered another blow to their scrum-half stocks after Johann van Graan revealed Neil Cronin faces several weeks out injured with a shoulder injury following last Friday’s defeat at Glasgow Warriors.

The southern province must already plan without first-choice number nine Conor Murray, whose injury was on Monday confirmed as a neck problem, faces an uncertain time away from the game with some reports suggesting the Ireland and British & Irish Lions star could even miss the November internationals.
