Mike Haley

... uh, Diarmuid Byrne, and there's one other, um, got injured last week.

Um, Mike Haley.

So they lose four kind of players that you would say are starters, even when everyone's available.

Um, so that's difficult.

Shane Daly, Calvin Nash, outstanding on the wings.

Mike Haley was playing really well.

So the whole team was playing really well, and, you know, it was, to do it three times in knockout stages, I think obviously Leinster opened the door a little bit with their selection, the semifinal, and Munster took it.

Jack Crowley gets a drop goal.

The injury gods giveth and taketh.

Uh, Alex Nankivell, uh, Diarmuid Barron, and Mike Haley all ruined it, ruled out this week.

But in better news, Craig Casey, Jeremy Loughman, Tom O'Hern, Jack Ainger, Shane Daly, and Ruairidh Quinn all available.

Would you be confident with players like Craig Casey, Jeremy Loughman back in there, Tom O'Hern, Jack Ainger, these guys that you'd see a little bit more from Munster in being able to last out the 80 minutes this week?

Like, that, that would make a big difference, like, to hopefully add an impact rather than kinda, kinda felt like the lads were just hanging on last week when they came on.

Uh, so yeah, it's definitely ...

And then obviously Shane Daly back with Mike Haley going out.

That might probably be a, a straight swap of 15.

Meanwhile, Munster will welcome back Ireland internationals Craig Casey and Jeremy Lukeman to the fold for this weekend's United Rugby Championship clash.

But Dermot Barron, Alex Nankoville, Jack O'Donoghue and Mike Haley have been ruled out.

Both Casey and Lukeman missed their opening round defeat to the Glasgow Warriors due to their stand down having been involved in Ireland's summer test but are set to return for the round 2 clash.

New signing Jack Anger as well as Tom O'Hearn, Shane Daly and Rowan Quinn are also primed for their season debuts on Saturday having returned to full fitness.

There are injury concerns with Mike Haley ruled out a knee injury, while Dermot Barron, Alex Nankerville and Jack O'Donoghue will also miss the Round 2 clash as they go through the return to play protocols.

But former Munster man Alan Quinlan joined Colin Boothig and Dara Smith-Nocton on Monday's off-the-ball breakfast and he said there were positives from Munster that they could take from the weekend.

They still have issues for sure and probably a bit of pace and out-and-out finishing.

So Munster next up, their team.

for their opener against Glasgow at Thoman Park this weekend it's Mike Haley at fullback it's Dermot Kilgallen and Ben O'Connor as their ringer Sean O'Brien partners Alex Nankovil in midfield there had been some suggestion that Charlie O'Shea would be thrown straight into start he's not going to be required from the beginning in this match JJ Hanrahan starts at out half alongside Ben O'Donovan who's the scrum half then it's Michael Milne Dermot Barron Kieran Brooks in the front row Evan O'Connell partners Feline Witterly in the second row and then it's Jack O'Donohue Alex Kendellan and Gavin Coombs in the back row.

I'll get your Ulster team in just a moment.

In the meantime, we have some motorsport news, Yves.
