In good news Dylan Tierney-Martin (calf) and David Hawkshaw (head) are available for selection after missing last week’s win against the Sharks.
Josh Ioane (groin) will be further assessed after his withdrawal in that game, and his availability is due to be determined.
Cian Prendergast (hamstring), Peter Dooley (hamstring), Shamus Hurley-Langton (shoulder), Oisin McCormack (hamstring) and Caolin Blade (achilles) are unavailable this weekend, and will be further assessed next week.
Mack Hansen (foot) will undergo surgery this week, and a timeline on his return to action will then be determined.
There are no updates on Byron Ralston (knee), Oisín Dowling (knee) and Temi Lasisi (knee).
