Graham Rowntree is confident Conor Murray will be fighting fit for Munster’s remaining Rainbow Cup games after sitting out this Friday’s home clash with Cardiff Blues due to injury.

Forwards coach Rowntree confirmed Munster’s squad update released earlier on Tuesday that the Ireland and Lions scrum-half would not be available for Friday’s clash at Thomond Park after sustaining what was described as a low-grade leg injury.
