AT LEAST SEVEN Munster players will re-enter the frame to face the Stormers at Thomond Park this Saturday in a battle between the URC’s top two sides.
Thaakir Abrahams, Diarmuid Barron, Mike Haley, John Hodnett, Alex Kendellen, Niall Scannell and Conor Bartley have all returned to full training this week for Clayton McMillan’s side, who currently sit second in the league table on points difference behind Saturday’s visitors.
Edwin Edogbo is also nearing his return from the head injury he suffered during last month’s victory over Leinster and his availability will be determined later in the week.
Oli Jager, who is also recovering from a head injury, has returned to non-contact training and is awaiting specialist review as to when he can return to contact training.
