Munster's Diarmuid Barren and Oli Jager ruled out of Friday's URC clash against Benetton

Munster have also been boosted by a return to training for power forward Edwin Edogbo after being sidelined with Achilles tendon injury for 17 months.

TEAM UPDATE: Diarmuid Barron and Oli Jager are ruled out of Munster's clash against Benetton in their round 18 URC clash.

Munster will be without injured front rowers Diarmuid Barron and Oli Jager for Friday's final round of the URC regular season against Benetton at Virgin Media Park.

Hooker Barron and titghthead prop Jager missed last Friday's bonus-point derby win over Ulster at Thomond Park and their respective shoulder and head injuries will also keep them out of the sell-out Round 18 clash with their play-off rivals, with both sides needing a victory to be sure of a top-eight finish to both progress to the knockout stages and qualify for next season’s Champions Cup.
