MUNSTER HAVE CONFIRMED Michael Ala’alatoa has linked up with their squad ahead of this Saturday night’s Champions Cup opener against Bath, [Kick-off 8pm, Premier Sports 1].

The 34-year-old tighthead prop has joined from Clermont Auvergne on a contract that runs until the end of this season.

Ala’alatoa, a 24-cap international who has played for Samoa in two World Cups, commenced training with Munster today.

Elsewhere Jack O’Donoghue failed a HIA in Saturday night’s URC defeat against Stormers at Thomond Park and will now enter return-to-play protocols.

Munster play Bath in their Pool 2 clash in what will be the first competitive game between the pair since October 2000. 

It is the first of a Champions Cup double-header before they host Gloucester at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Saturday 13 December, with over 33,500 tickets already snapped up for that game at the Cork venue.
