Tadhg Beirne, Keith Earls, and John Ryan will return to training in Limerick this week as Munster begin their final four-week build-up to their Guinness PRO14 derby clash with Leinster.

The 2019-20 season will restart at the Aviva Stadium on August 22 with Johann van Graan’s squad facing unbeaten league leaders Leinster in Dublin in their first game since the campaign was shut down due to the Covid-19 lockdown.
