Munster are waiting to learn the extent of the wrist injury sustained by fly-half Joey Carbery in last Sunday’s BKT URC draw at Benetton with academy playmaker Tony Butler poised to make his league debut against Dragon in Cork on Saturday.

Carbery, set to turn 28 on Wednesday, has started the first two games of the season in the Munster number 10 jersey, as the 2022-23 champions got their URC title defence up and running with a home win over the Sharks and that 13-13 draw in Treviso at the weekend.
