Munster look set to bolster their backline for Saturday night’s return to URC action but will have to plan without double World Cup-winning lock Jean Kleyn.

Interim head coach Ian Costello faces his first league fixture since taking charge following the sudden departure of Graham Rowntree on October 29 when the in-form Lions visit Thomond Park and while he received a generally encouraging squad update on Tuesday, Kleyn absence with a neck injury sustained in training with South Africa last week, has required a scan with Munster awaiting an accurate prognosis.
