Johann van Graan is going to be without his returning Ireland contingent this weekend, but he's unlikely to need them at Thomond Park.
Munster welcome Ospreys to Limerick and are searing hot favourites to pick up the points and bounce back from defeat against the Cheetahs in South Africa last time out.
But a timely boost will soon be on its way as Ireland returned home on Tuesday meaning that the province can expect to have their best back in action next month.
Just how soon that might be is unclear, with many indicating that it'll be mid November by the time the likes of Peter O'Mahony, Keith Earls, Joey Carbery and co are back in red.
