Munster’s increasing confidence in their wider squad gets a further examination this Friday when Ospreys visit Thomond Park as the push for a BKT URC play-off berth intensifies without the province’s Ireland stars.

Gavin Coombes, Keith Earls and Roman Salanoa have been released from Andy Farrell’s Six Nations squad alongside eight other players sent back to their provinces for the resumption of the league campaign over the championship’s first fallow weekend while Ben Healy has also been made available after three weeks away with Scotland.
