Squad Update | Munster gear up for first Thomond Park clash of 2022

THE Munster squad returned to the HPC on Monday to begin preparations for Saturday’s United Rugby Championship clash against Ulster at Thomond Park (7.35pm).

On the injury front, Jean Kleyn was removed with a knee injury during the game against Connacht on Saturday and will go for a scan.

Jason Jenkins had an abdominal injury in training last week and will go for a scan to assess but is unlikely to train this week.
