Ireland scrum-half Craig Casey has passed fit to face Castres in Munster’s must-win Champions Cup pool finale at Thomond Park on Saturday (5:30pm).

The surprise selection at number nine is a huge boost for head coach Clayton McMillan as his team goes in search of the bonus-point victory required to guarantee progress to the knockout stages of the European competition and gives Munster an outside chance of earning a money-spinning home Round of 16 draw.
