Munster are in fingers crossed territory with a string of frontline players ahead of the weekend’s Champions Cup pool trip to Exeter Chiefs but will not risk veteran talisman Peter O’Mahony for the Pool 3 showdown.

Assistant coach Denis Leamy admitted yesterday that the Munster coaching ticket headed by Graham Rowntree faced a lot of hard decisions as they finalise a matchday squad to get their campaign up and running following last Saturday’s disappointing 17-17 opening-round draw at home Bayonne.
