Munster planning without Carbery and Kilcoyne for 'massive challenge' at Saracens

This weekend’s test will have to be negotiated without two fly-halves and a trio of front-rowers.

Munster will have to plan without Joey Carbery and Dave Kilcoyne for another week as Johann van Graan plans for the “massive challenge” of trying to beat European champions Saracens in their own backyard this Saturday.

Munster head into their Heineken Champions Cup Pool 4 round-four showdown at Allianz Park with a five-point lead over the Londoners but needing to win at least one of their two remaining away games, with a trip to Racing 92 in Paris lying ahead in round five next month.
