Johann van Graan has not ruled out the possibility that some players currently quarantined may be available for Munster’s European opener at Wasps this Sunday, although it has been confirmed there have been further Covid cases since their return from South Africa.

The Munster head coach, speaking on Wednesday from a hotel room as he continues to self-isolate since returning from the province’s aborted tour of South Africa seven days ago, has handed day-to-day training duties to academy head Ian Costello at the High Performance Centre in Limerick.
