Munster head coach Clayton McMillan determined first-choice fly-half Jack Crowley "a fairly strong chance" of being fit to take part in the province's Champions Cup round two clash with English Premiership side Gloucester at Cork's Supervalu Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday week. 

Crowley has missed out on selection for the competition opener against Premiership leaders Bath - coached by ex-Munster boss Johann van Graan  - having suffered an ankle injury against the Stormers at Thomond Park last time out, with the experience of JJ Hanrahan preferred to the Tony Butler at ten in the Cork native's absence.
