Johann van Graan was spared the disruption of further injuries to his beleaguered squad on Monday as Munster reported no new fitness issues from the weekend ahead of Friday’s Guinness PRO14 semi-final with Leinster.

After having to deal with the losses of fly-half Joey Carbery for an indefinite period following a setback in his rehabilitation from ankle surgery and then a serious knee injury for new signing RG Snyman just seven minutes into the South African’s debut against Leinster on August 22, when they also picked up injuries to Jean Kleyn (neck) and Dave Kilcoyne (ankle), there will have been relief in the Munster camp to have the squad emerge unscathed from Sunday’s bonus-point victory over Connacht.
