Munster are optimistic they will have Jeremy Loughman and Alex Nankivell back from injury for their return to URC action against Edinburgh in Cork this Friday.

Defence coach Denis Leamy on Tuesday said loosehead prop Loughman and midfield linchpin Nankivell were both “tracking well” following respective hip and hamstring issues but it was a day of mixed injury news for the province.
