Stars Return, As Munster Confirms 30-Man Squad For URC Final
The 30-man Munster squad heading into the URC Final consists of 17 forwards and 13 backs, with the 23-man matchday squad to be named before noon on Friday.
Malakai Fekitoa, Conor Murray, Calvin Nash and RG Snyman all are available ahead of Munster’s clash with the Stormers this weekend in Cape Town for the URC Final.
All four completed the return-to-play protocols and are available for selection after missing the semifinal win over Leinster.
Though they’ll go in as underdogs against the defending champions, playing on their home patch, Munster will be buoyed by its shock win over arch rival Leinster and the fact that they’ve built a formidable away record in recent weeks.
The 30-man squad consists of 17 forwards and 13 backs, with Graham Rowntree’s 23-man matchday squad to be named before noon on Friday.
There’s good news elsewhere, with Jean Kleyn and Ben Healy also due to complete the return-to-play protocols this week, after being removed during the semifinal win over Leinster.
Greencore Munster Rugby Academy scrum-half Ethan Coughlan is included in the traveling squad.
