Munster are confident that Jack Crowley will be fit for Sunday's crunch Champions Cup final pool game at Toulouse although he won't train until Friday at the earliest.But backs coach Mike Prendergast provided a positive update on the 23-year-old this afternoon, and that is also good news for Ireland boss Andy Farrell ahead of his Six Nations squad selection tomorrow.

He elaborated: "They carried themselves so well in terms of their input on the pitch, but also off the pitch with team meetings."They were disappointed last week, last week is a different week to this week and they're back into the mix in terms of our selection discussions.
