Munster are set to make a call on whether to appeal Alex Nankivell’s two-match suspension ahead of their Champions Cup quarter-final in Bordeaux next weekend.

Nankivell was ruled out of the Round of 16 victory at La Rochelle on Saturday after Munster were unable to select him following a late decision on the centre’s red card in the uRC derby win at Connacht.
