Munster dealt twin injury setbacks

Munster have suffered the twin blow of having Tyler Bleyendaal and Duncan Williams both ruled out for the rest of the season.

Bleyendaal has undergone surgery to fix a recurring neck injury, while Williams also went under the knife after sustaining facial injuries during training last week.

Meanwhile, there are growing concerns over Keith Earls, who limped off in the closing stages of Ireland's Grand Slam victory over England, with the wing set to have a scan to ascertain the extent of the injury.

Lastly, Simon Zebo (hamstring) and Alex Wootton (hip flexor) are also doubts for Saturday's PRO14 clash with the Scarlets but should be in contention for Toulon's visit to Thomond Park.
