Rugby: Munster number eight James Coughlan will miss the province's RaboDirect Pro12 game with Glasgow Warriors on Saturday at Musgrave Park after fracturing a bone in his left hand in Sunday's Heineken Cup defeat against Ulster. He will see a specialist later in the week.

Keith Earls picked up a leg injury and his involvement will be determined after he’s had further medical assessment. Munster coach Tony McGahan may be tempted to use a number of the players who featured in a superb 36-29 extra time British and Irish Cup semi-final victory over Leinster at the RDS last Friday.
