Munster Rugby shut down their High Performance Centre in Limerick on Tuesday after reporting a senior player has tested positive for Covid-19.

In a statement issued on Tuesday morning, the province said the latest round of weekly PCR testing carried out the previous day at the HPC had returned a positive result for a player who is asymptomatic. He was not a member of the matchday squad that faced Scarlets in Wales at the weekend and did not travel for last Saturday’s Guinness PRO14 opener in Llanelli.
