Peter O’Mahony (elbow) will go for a scan today and his availability will be determined later in the week.

Diarmuid Barron (shoulder) will be reviewed as the week progresses to determine his availability.

Malakai Fekitoa, Conor Murray, Calvin Nash and RG Snyman were all removed for Head Injury Assessments and are following the return to play protocols. They will all be unavailable this weekend.

Continuing to rehab: Liam O’Connor (neck), Eoin O’Connor (shoulder), Jack Daly (knee), Paddy Patterson (knee), Keith Earls (groin), Paddy Kelly (head), Andrew Conway (knee), Liam Coombes (thigh).

On the club front, there were three Greencore Munster Rugby Academy players in AIL action at the weekend.

Evan O’Connell was in action for UL Bohemian as they beat Dungannon to keep their place in Division 2A.
