Second Munster player test positive for Covid-19 but province return to training on Friday

Johann van Graan’s squad will at least have one run out, Friday’s scheduled Captain’s Run, ahead of Saturday’s Guinness PRO14 game against Edinburgh at Thomond Park

Munster Rugby are set to return to training at their High Performance Centre on Friday morning, despite further PCR testing returning an additional positive test for Covid-19 from a senior player.

The second round of testing of players and staff at the province this week was carried out on Wednesday following a positive result returned the day before from Monday testing. Training was cancelled on Tuesday as the HPC on the University of Limerick campus was shut down.
