Stars return as Munster confirm 30-man squad for URC Final
Malakai Fekitoa, Conor Murray, Calvin Nash and RG Snyman are all available ahead of Munster's URC Final clash with the Stormers this weekend in Cape Town.
All four completed the return to play protocols and are available for selection after missing the semi-final win over Leinster.
Although they'll go in as underdogs against the defending champions playing on their home patch, Munster will be buoyed by their shock win over arch rivals Leinster and the fact that they've built a formiddable away record in recent weeks.
The 30-man squad consists of 17 forwards and 13 backs with Graham Rowntree's 23-man matchday squad to be named before 12pm on Friday.
There's good news elsewhere, with Jean Kleyn and Ben Healy also due to complete the return to play protocols this week after being removed during the semi-final win over Leinster.
Greencore Munster Rugby Academy scrum-half Ethan Coughlan is included in the travelling squad.

Impossible to say Mounga is playing well or badly tho. SR is a far stronger comp and excelling at a lower level proves absolutely nothing.
Go to commentsA bit harsh perhaps. Halfback sound enough but admittedly flyhalf and other inside backs need to be improved to give our wingers and fullback the chances they need to shine. Our backplay currently is too sitters for comfort.
