However clear this Saturday’s mission against Castres is, there are still plenty of loose ends to tie up for Munster following their narrow Champions Cup loss at Toulon.

The province is still awaiting clarification from competition organisers EPCR on the awarding of the controversial penalty which turned a 25-24 lead into a 27-25 defeat with five minutes to go, while the participation of first-choice scrum-half Craig Casey is yet to be decided, despite assistant coach Denis Leamy revealing the Ireland international had sustained a “significant” injury to the AC joint in his shoulder at Stade Felix Mayol.
