Ireland fly-half Jack Crowley has been passed fit for Munster's must-win URC derby at Connacht this Saturday but Clayton McMillan will have to plan without captain Tadhg Beirne and a host of fellow frontline injury absentees.

Crowley was withdrawn due to a leg injury sustained in the warm-up before kick-off against Ulster at Thomond Park last time out on April 25, while Munster’s bonus-point Round 16 victory saw Beirne (knee), fellow lock Jean Kleyn (bicep), centre Tom Farrell (shoulder), wing Calvin Nash (hamstring) and tighthead prop Oli Jager (head) all fail to finish the 41-14 home derby win.
