'Josh van der Flier has been ruled out of the remainder of the season with a serious knee ligament injury. 'Dave Kilcoyne has re-joined the squad while Jack O’Donoghue [Munster back-row] and Barry Daly [Leinster winger] will train with the group during the early part of this week. 'Andrew Conway will continue his rehab at Munster this week while James Cronin has returned to Limerick in order to garner some game minutes with Munster in the Guinness PRO14 at the weekend.'
