Munster’s prop forward injury crisis looks to be easing ahead of this Friday’s trip to Castres with Ollie Jager and Dave Kilcoyne set to make their comebacks in the Champions Cup round two pool clash.

The Reds have been without six props for much of this season and have brought in South African Dian Bleuler and Young Munster’s Conor Bartley as short-term signings with looseheads Kilcoyne, Jeremy Loughman, Josh Wycherley and Mark Donnelly all sidelined.
