For the first time in nine weeks the full squad are available to attend the HPC with the final group of 14 players and staff completing their quarantine period after returning from South Africa.

The squad have commenced preparations for the return to URC action with a busy festive period of Interprovincial ties ahead against Leinster, Connacht, and Ulster.

The Munster Development side will also be in action when they take on the Ireland U20s in Musgrave Park on Thursday, December 30 (2.30pm) with supporter access details confirmed closer to the time.
