Alex Nankivell is closing in on a return for Munster following an ankle injury as the URC defending champions prepare for their play-off semi-final against Glasgow Warriors at Thomond Park on Saturday.

The centre, who signed last summer from Super Rugby’s Chiefs, missed the derby win over Ulster in the final round of the regular season on June 1, when Munster were also without his regular centre partner Antoine Frisch, and also last Friday’s quarter-final victory over Ospreys.
