Munster are hopeful Jack Crowley will be available to square off against Finn Russell in their Champions Cup opener against Bath on Saturday night, despite the Ireland out-half sitting out training yesterday.

Crowley is nursing a leg injury after the bruising defeat against the Stormers. He picked up the injury during the first half, but finished the game as the South Africans came from 21-6 down to win 27-21.
