Munster’s injury problems at fly-half look set to be replicated at loosehead prop after Jeremy Loughman joined Dave Kilcoyne on the casualty list during the draw with Racing 92.

Johann van Graan fielded just one specialist number 10 for the second week running, with first-choice Joey Carbery missing the opening two rounds, against Ospreys and Racing, with an ankle injury. Tyler Bleyendaal started in Wales but reported stiffness last week, leaving a fit-again JJ Hanrahan to return to face the Parisians having missed the Ospreys win with a hamstring problem.
