Damian de Allende was also excused duty after his punishing schedule with the Springboks this year, culminating in his 11th appearance out of 13 Tests against England at Twickenham. Tadhg Beirne, Joey Carbery, Craig Casey, Andrew Conway, Keith Earls, Dave Kilcoyne, Conor Murray and Peter O’Mahony all remained at home as a 33-man squad departed for South Africa last Saturday in readiness for Saturday’s resumption of the United Rugby Championship against the Bulls in Loftus Versfeld (5.45pm Irish time/7.45pm SA time). Johann van Graan has said that some, if not all, of the eight Munster players who were granted a down week after Ireland’s Autumn Nations Series will link up with the squad in South Africa next Sunday with a view to playing against the Lions in Johannesburg a week later.
