Curtain Comes Down In Parma

Munster will bring the curtain down on the 2012/2013 season in Parma on Friday night where they play a Zebre side looking for their first win of the campaign,

And it's unlikely that quite a few of those who soldiered in Montpellier will be asked to make the trek to Italy. But despite dislocating a finger in the course of the game against Clermont Damien Varley could be on the plane depending on the results of an x-ray he'll have today.

Sean Dougall (knee) came through last Friday’s B&I Cup game unscathed after replacing Barry O’Mahony in the 51^st minute and could be in contention for a place in the squad as might Donncha O’Callaghan who continues to rehab his knee (medial ligament) sprain picked up against Leinster in the RaboDirect in Thomond Park Stadium.

Further news on Keith Earls is expected tomorrow and given Paul O'Connell is certain to be named in the Lions squad tomorrow the Zebre game may be on his agenda in order to get valuable game time under his belt.

Luke O’Dea is undergoing surgery today on his wrist to repair ligament damage sustained against Leinster A in the Interpro in March.
