Munster will welcome back a fit-again Fineen Wycherley with a sigh of relief for this Saturday’s trip to Italy to face Benetton as they say goodbye to Ireland star Tadhg Beirne for the duration of the Guinness Six Nations.

Beirne is one of eight Munster players who linked up with Ireland boss Andy Farrell on Tuesday for the start of preparations for the championship opener against Wales in Cardiff in 11 days.
