The Munster squad returned to the HPC on Monday as preparations commenced for Friday night’s Guinness PRO14 game against Ospreys at Irish Independent Park (7.35pm).

There was positive news for Chris Cloete, with the ankle injury sustained against Southern Kings and the flanker is progressing well with his rehabilitation.

Alex Wootton has returned to full training after recovering from his knee injury sustained last season.

Continuing to rehab: Ciaran Parker (calf).

Head Coach Johann van Graan confirmed Munster’s 12 World Cup representatives will return to the province in early November, while incoming Forwards Coach Graham Rowntree will join the squad next week.
