Chris Cloete back but news not so good for Cronin and Holland

There is mixed news for Munster ahead of Friday’s Guinness PRO14 clash with Ospreys in Cork as Johann van Graan gets ready to welcome back more Irish internationals and a fit-again Chris Cloete but must plan without Billy Holland and Neil Cronin.

New signings Tadhg Beirne and Joey Carbery could make their first starts of the campaign after debuts off the bench in the first two rounds while van Graan said a “few more” Irish stars could return to make their seasonal bows when the Welsh region visits Musgrave Park.
