Munster’s bid for a top-two finish to the URC regular season has been boosted by a return to training for Joey Carbery, John Hodnett and Peter O’Mahony ahead of this Saturday’s final-round home derby clash with Ulster.

The trio had each been forced to miss Munster’s away win over Edinburgh last time out on May 17, when the defending league champions stretched their winning run in the URC to eight matches and took top spot going into this weekend’s 18th and final round before the end of season play-offs.
