Munster number 8 James Coughlan might miss the RaboDirect PRO12 game against Glasgow Warriors on Saturday, after suffering a bone fracture to his left hand during the Heineken Cup quarter-final loss to Ulster.

Coughlan, who has been one of Munster’s primary ball carriers all season, will see a specialist later this week to determine the extent of the injury.

And Keith Earls will also have further medical examination today to determine the seriousness of his injury (leg).

Earls required on-field treatment for the knock he took in the second half and finished the game but was in some discomfort afterwards.

Meanwhile, Welsh side Cross Keys will provide the opposition to Munster in the final of the British & Irish Cup final after they defeated Cornish Pirates in the semi-final on Saturday.

The night before Munster came from behind on three occasions to secure their place, beating Leinster 36-29 at the RDS.
