Jack O’Sullivan is unavailable for Munster’s crunch clash against Ulster

Jack O’Sullivan is unavailable for Munster’s potentially crucial URC clash with Ulster this Friday in Belfast and will miss the next few weeks after suffering a knee injury in the first leg of his side’s last 16 Champions Cup win at Sandy Park against the Exeter Chiefs has contracted.

With Gavin Coombes (ankle), Dave Kilcoyne (neck), Tadhg Beirne (thigh), Andrew Conway (knee), James French (knee), RG Snyman (knee) all still out, Munster are hoping for an international contingent available at the IRFU.

They will confirm this at a press conference today.

A win for Ulster will put them on pole position for a trip home to the final in June, while a loss for Munster would put them under pressure to do so.

Second row RG Snyman and brace James French remain on the long-term injury list as they recover from knee problems.
