The stop-start nature of Munster’s fixture schedule of late means Fineen Wycherley’s return from a shoulder injury has been equally fitful but the West Cork lock is grateful to be feeling fit, fresh and ready for the sharp end of the season.

Wycherley, 25, was sidelined for almost three months before making his comeback in the BKT United Rugby Championship win over Benetton in Treviso on January 28 but with the competition on hiatus for three of the four weekends since due to the Guinness Six Nations, he has been restricted to just one further appearance, in the big win over Ospreys at Thomond Park a fortnight ago.
