Squad Update

Munster continue preparations for Saturday’s Guinness PRO12 semi final against Ospreys at UL today with positive news on the injury front for both Tyler Bleyendaal and Alex Wootton.

Bleyendaal and Wootton sustained respective bicep and hamstring injuries in the province’s round 22 win over Connacht at Thomond Park but Director of Rugby Rassie Erasmus today confirmed that both players are expected to return to full training this week.

The news comes as a welcome boost ahead of Saturday’s showdown with Ospreys in Limerick at 6.15pm, tickets for which can be purchased online here, from the Munster Rugby Ticket Offices or by calling 061 421103.

Meanwhile, following limited game time this season, Munster can confirm that the Greencore Munster Academy duo of prop JP Phelan and utility back Stephen Fitzgerald will travel to Australia for the summer months where they will line out for Bond University.
