Mixed news on the injury front for Munster ahead of Cardiff trip

Munster revealed good news and bad vibes about injuries yesterday with Johann van Graan expressing the latter on Ireland prop John Ryan.

The positives were some encouraging news on injured half-backs Conor Murray and Tyler Bleyendaal though neither is expected to return to action in the immediate future. More pressing is the availability of the province’s most experienced tightheads with both Ryan and Stephen Archer in doubt for Friday’s Guinness PRO14 trip to Cardiff Blues.
