Star Munster duo will be available for selection for Leinster match
By Online Editors
Munster received a boost ahead of their Pro14 semifinal showdown against Leinster in Dublin on Saturday.
Irish stars Keith Earls and Joey Carbery have both returned to full training at Munster’s High Performance Centre in Limerick this week and they will be monitored as the week progresses.
Hooker Rhys Marshall has also returned to full training.
Meanwhile, the following players are progressing with rehabilitation: Jeremy Loughman (hamstring), Alex Wootton (knee), Brian Scott (foot), James Cronin (leg).
Earls has been out with a thigh injury and was a late withdrawal ahead of his team’s quarterfinal win against Benetton.
Carbery has been struggling with hamstring issue he picked up in his team’s Champions Cup quarterfinal against Edinburgh.

The Rebels situation is understandably a touchy subject for Geoff Parling but I’m currently listening to a podcast with Mat Rogers who bluntly said “the best thing to happen to Australian rugby union in the last 15 years is the Melbourne Rebels going broke”, citing the better spread of talent across Australian rugby.
Having Skelton in the squad for the Lions series is a must. Yes he’s a 2nd rower who's a lineout lifter instead of a lineout jumper but his mongrel is essential as displayed against Wales in November.
As for the 7-1 bench split, I flip flop between praising Rassie Erasmus and Fabien Galthie for playing to their team’s strengths and being willing to embrace the trade-off that comes with a 7-1 bench composition but also believing World Rugby should stipulate that a bench must have at least 2 specialist backs.
