Munster have welcomed back Conor Murray, Diarmuid Barron, Diarmuid Kilgallen and Jack O’Donoghue to full team training ahead of this Saturday’s Champions Cup pool clash with Saracens at Thomond Park.

Murray has not played since earning his 120th cap for Ireland against Fiji in November due to an elbow injury but the 35-year-old scrum-half’s potential return for a first Munster appearance since October 19 is a timely one given the serious knee injury sustained by fellow international Craig Casey last month in the Champions Cup defeat at Castres.
