Munster have moved quickly to address their loosehead prop crisis by signing Ulster’s Ireland Under-20 Grand Slam winner Callum Reid on a six-week loan.

Johann van Graan’s squad was down to just one fit senior loosehead and one from the academy in James Cronin and Josh Wycherley, who earned his debut for the province last Monday night, replacing Cronin late on in the Guinness PRO14 bonus-point victory over Cardiff Blues.
